A comforting and classic squash casserole recipe, perfect as a side dish for any meal. This recipe combines tender squash with creamy sour cream and savory cheese for a delightful home-style flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds yellow squash, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced squash and chopped onion. Cook until the squash is tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Drain any excess liquid from the squash and onion mixture.
  4. In a bowl, combine the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Add the cooked squash and onion mixture to the sour cream mixture and stir to combine.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the crushed buttery crackers with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the squash mixture.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  9. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute zucchini for yellow squash if desired.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sour cream mixture.
  • Ensure the squash is tender before mixing, but not mushy.
