Description
A delicious and easy Southern Squash Casserole recipe that combines yellow squash, cheese, and a crunchy topping for a comforting dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds yellow squash, sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced squash and chopped onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the squash is tender and the onion is translucent.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
- In a large bowl, combine the sautéed squash mixture with the shredded cheddar cheese, crushed crackers, sour cream, beaten eggs, and milk. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
- Substitute zucchini for half of the yellow squash for a different flavor and texture.
