Cheesy Squash Casserole

A comforting and cheesy squash casserole, perfect as a side dish or a light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs yellow squash, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup crushed butter crackers (like Ritz)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add sliced squash and chopped onion. Cook until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the drained squash and onion with cream of chicken soup, milk, 1 cup cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well to combine.
  4. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine crushed crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  7. Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese over the cracker topping.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  9. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use a mix of yellow squash and zucchini for variation.
  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the squash mixture for extra depth.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
