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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Transfer the squash mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the crushed saltine crackers, grated Parmesan cheese, and paprika. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the squash casserole.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
