Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs yellow squash, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, sauté the yellow squash and onion in 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat until tender.
  3. In a separate saucepan, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened.
  5. Stir in the sour cream, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Add the squash and onion mixture to the cheese sauce and stir to combine.
  7. Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter.
  9. Sprinkle the cracker topping evenly over the squash mixture.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  11. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can blanch the squash before adding it to the casserole for a softer texture.
  • Feel free to add other seasonings like garlic powder or a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce.
  • For an extra cheesy casserole, you can add a layer of shredded cheese under the cracker topping.
