Ingredients

• 2 cups (sliced) yellow squash
• 2 cups (sliced) zucchini
• 1 cup (chopped) onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup (grated) parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the sliced yellow squash and zucchini. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the milk and continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Add the sour cream, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.

Step 6

Combine the cooked squash and zucchini with the cheese sauce. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Luby's-style mixed squash casserole!
