6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 pounds yellow squash, sliced ¼-inch thick (from 5 medium squash)
1 medium-size yellow onion, chopped (about 1 ½ cups)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Drain 5 minutes; discard any liquid.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lb yellow squash, sliced or diced
1/2 c diced Vidalia onion, optional
1 can(s) cream of mushroom or chicken soup, 10.5 oz.
1 c mayonaise
1 egg
8 oz shredded cheddar cheese (sharp is my favorite)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
TOPPING
2 sleeves of Ritz crackers, crushed
1 stick melted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350.
  • 2. Wash and slice squash into small medallions or dice into smaller pieces if the squash is large. I prefer smaller sized squash since it is tender. Put squash into a large bowl for mixing with the filling.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, mix together the soup, mayo, eggs, cheese, onions, salt, and pepper.
  • 4. Pour over squash.
  • 5. Stir until well mixed.
  • 6. Then pour into a casserole dish for baking.
  • 7. Crush crackers while in "tubes" (I usually wrap them in a dish towel to avoid a mess, and use a rolling pin or meat tenderizer) or place in a resealable plastic bag.
  • 8. Pour crushed crackers into a bowl. Melt butter in the microwave and stir into crackers until moist.
  • 9. Drizzle on top of casserole. (You can make more or less of the topping. More topping = more yummy!)
  • 10. Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly and brown on top (usually 45-50 minutes). Bake for 30 minutes covered. with foil to help prevent crackers from burning.
  • 11. Then uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes until golden brown on top.
  • 12. ***If you want, you can add a cup of chopped cooked chicken into casserole. Also, adding 2 cups of cooked rice into it makes a delish meal.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8-10 c sliced yellow squash
1-2 onions, diced (amount depends on taste preference)
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
8 oz evaporated milk
1 box ritz crackers
8-10 slice american cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Cook squash and onions till squash is cooked down and done. (For those unfamiliar with how to cook the squash.....place it in a pot with the onion and salt and pepper, and just do cover with water and bring to a boil, then cut down the heat to simmer until squash is tender, not mushy.) Strain off excess water.
  • 2. Using 9 x 11 casserole dish, butter sides and bottom of dish. Start layering ingredients, beginning with Squash, (add a little salt and pepper to squash prior to placing in casserole dish, if needed) add a layer of cheese, mix together the milk and cream of mushroom soup, and spread it evenly over the cheese, repeat these layers again, then crumble a pack of the Ritz crackers and generously cover top of soup mixture. Dab top of crackers with a few pats of butter.
  • 3. Place in a 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown or until it starts to bubble and boil a little around the edges. (You just really want to melt the cheese, and heat it through and maybe brown the top a little) Serve warm or let stand for a few minutes before serving with your favorite meal.
