Description

A creamy and hearty Southern squash casserole made with yellow squash, onions, cheese, and topped with crunchy crackers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs yellow squash
  • 1 medium sweet onion
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crushed buttery crackers
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Slice the squash and chop the onions. Cook them in a skillet with a little water over medium heat until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain any extra water.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, and cheddar cheese. Gently stir in the cooked squash and onions. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and pour in the mixture. Top with crushed crackers mixed with melted butter and sprinkle more cheese on top.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, sauté the squash and onions in butter instead of water. Can be made ahead and refrigerated, bake when ready.
