Sharp cheddar and gruyere make the sauce in this squash casserole richer than the usual version, and sautéing the yellow squash first keeps it from turning watery once it bakes. Sour cream and mayonnaise add tang, and a buttery Ritz cracker topping gives it the crunch people expect from a Southern squash casserole. Prep and bake take about 40 minutes total, and it holds up well for holiday tables or potlucks.
