Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs yellow squash, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Add sliced squash and chopped onion. Cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. In a separate saucepan, melt remaining 1/4 cup butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in milk and chicken broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until cheeses are melted and sauce is smooth.
  6. Combine the cooked squash and onion with the cheese sauce. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  9. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce for extra depth.
  • You can use a mix of different squashes like zucchini and yellow squash.
