A creamy, cheesy Southern classic casserole made with fresh squash, onion, and a crunchy topping, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

  • sliced yellow squash (4 cups)
  • chopped onion (0.5 cup)
  • water (0.25 cup)
  • buttery round crackers (35 )
  • shredded Cheddar cheese (1 cup)
  • large eggs (2 )
  • milk (0.75 cup)
  • butter (0.25 cup)
  • salt (1 teaspoon)
  • ground black pepper (0 )

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish; set aside.
  2. Place squash and onion in a large skillet over medium heat; pour in water. Cover, and cook until squash is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well, and place in a large bowl.
  3. Mix cracker crumbs and cheese together in a separate bowl. Stir half of the cracker mixture into the cooked squash and onions.
  4. Mix eggs and milk together in a small bowl, then add to squash mixture; stir in 1/4 cup melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. Spread mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle with remaining cracker mixture, and dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
