Try this easy summer Squash Casserole recipe made with yellow squash. This recipe is great because it’s creamy, not wet like many squash recipes, and you can use any thin-skinned summer squash for this dish. My mother-in-law likes to use a mix of yellow squash and zucchini.
What you need for a Squash Casserole Recipe
2 lbs yellow SQUASH sliced thin
1 medium CARROT grated
1 Lg ONION chopped
1 EGG
8 oz SOUR CREAM
8 oz BREAD CRUMBS or SALTINE CRACKERS
1 cup grated CHEDDAR CHEESE (or use your favorite cheese)
¼ cup freshly grated PARMESAN CHEESE
1 tsp GARLIC POWDER
1 Tbsp ITALIAN SEASONING
2 Tbsp BUTTER
1 Tbsp OIL
SALT and PEPPER to taste
How to Bake a Squash Casserole
- Heat 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium high heat, then add in the squash and onion. Sprinkle with salt and mix well. The salt will help draw out water from the veggies.
- Stir the veggies for about five minutes, adding the garlic powder and any other seasonings you desire.
- Once the veggies have softened, remove them from the skillet and place in a colander to allow some of the water to drain off. Press on the veggies to squeeze the water out.
- In a large bowl, whisk an egg, then add in the squash, onion, cheddar cheese, carrot, sour cream, Italian seasoning, and half of the breadcrumbs or crackers. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- In a small bowl make your casserole topping: combine the remaining bread crumbs with 1 Tbsp of melted butter. Mix in the Parmesan cheese.
- Pour the casserole mix into an oven safe dish and then top with the bread crumb topping. Make sure the casserole topping is level so it will cook evenly.
- Place the casserole in an oven preheated to 350˚F and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the bread crumb topping turns golden brown. Check current prices for Panko Bread Crumbs on Amazon.
