Description

A delicious and cheesy casserole made with yellow squash, cheddar cheese, and buttery crackers, perfect for a comforting side dish.


Ingredients

  • 2 medium yellow squash, sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crushed buttery crackers (such as Ritz)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sliced yellow squash and chopped onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the squash is tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, crushed crackers, milk, eggs, melted butter, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
  4. Add the sautéed squash and onion mixture to the bowl and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider mixing in cooked bacon or sausage before baking.
  • You can substitute zucchini for yellow squash for a different taste and texture.
