How to Make Squash Casserole with Ritz Crackers

  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Lightly butter a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Melt 1 ½ tablespoons of butter in a skillet. Add the yellow squash, Vidalia onions, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook until the squash is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into a colander to drain excess liquid.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, sour cream, mayonnaise, cheeses, thyme, remaining salt, and pepper. Fold in the drained squash and onions, and transfer to the baking dish.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Combine with the crushed Ritz crackers, parmesan cheese, and parsley. Sprinkle over the squash mixture.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh ingredients and don't skip the draining step.
