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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and slice the yellow squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Peel and finely chop the onion.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Season the cooked squash and onions with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Transfer the squash mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, combine cracker crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the cracker crumb topping evenly over the squash mixture in the baking dish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
