Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups yellow squash
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup crushed saltine crackers
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Slice the yellow squash into thin rounds, then place them in a large pot of boiling water. Cook for about 5 minutes until just tender, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked squash, sautéed onions, beaten eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the squash mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the crushed saltine crackers, grated Parmesan cheese, and paprika. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the squash casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling at the edges.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
