Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups yellow squash, sliced (about 4 medium squash)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the sliced yellow squash and chopped onion. Cook for about 5 minutes until they're tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
Mixing and Layering
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled squash mixture with the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until fully combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased, 9x13-inch baking dish and flatten the top with a spatula.
- Pour the melted butter over the crushed crackers, stirring until well-coated, then sprinkle over the casserole.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
- Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For a different flavor, substitute yellow squash with zucchini or mix both. You can also add garlic or cayenne pepper for added spice. For extra crunch, fresh breadcrumbs are a great alternative to crackers.
