Delicious delicious southern squash casserole recipe recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yellow Squash, sliced
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Butter, divided
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese, divided
  • 1 sleeve Ritz Crackers, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced yellow squash and chopped onion and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the cooked squash and onion mixture with cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Season with black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Step 4: Pour the squash mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Step 5: In a separate bowl, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter. Add the crushed Ritz crackers and toss to coat. Sprinkle the buttered cracker crumbs evenly over the squash mixture in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the cracker crumbs.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
  • This casserole pairs wonderfully with fried chicken or pulled pork for a classic Southern meal.
  • To prevent a soggy casserole, ensure the squash is well-drained after cooking and before mixing with the other ingredients.
