- 1 small (finely diced) onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced yellow squash, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until the squash is slightly tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and beaten eggs. Mix well.
Fold the sautéed squash and onion mixture into the bowl with the cheese mixture. Stir gently until everything is well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers, grated parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the squash mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this addictive side dish!
