Step 1

Preheat the Oven Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Cook the Vegetables In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced squash and chopped onion, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess liquid.

Step 3

Make the Filling In a large bowl, combine the sautéed squash and onions with the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Assemble the Casserole Spread the squash mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish. In a small bowl, mix together the crushed Ritz crackers or breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 5

Bake Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 6

Serve Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. This Special Squash Casserole pairs beautifully with roasted meats, poultry, or as a stand-alone vegetarian dish.
