Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 medium yellow squash
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Wash and slice the yellow squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Peel and finely chop the onion.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced squash and chopped onion. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender.
Season the cooked squash and onions with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and eggs. Mix until well blended. Add the slightly cooled squash mixture to the bowl and gently stir to combine.
Transfer the squash mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine cracker crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cracker crumb topping evenly over the squash mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
