Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Summer Squash Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 1-quart casserole dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
Next, grab a saucepan and place a steamer insert inside.
Step 3
Fill the saucepan with water, making sure it sits just below the bottom of the steamer.
Step 4
Bring the water to a lively boil, then gently add in your sliced squash and onion.
Step 5
Cover the pot and let them steam for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the squash is tender enough to be easily mashed with a fork.
Step 6
While that’s happening, take a moment to enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen.
Step 7
In your prepared casserole dish, whisk together a beaten egg and some creamy sour cream until smooth.
Step 8
Once your squash and onion are perfectly steamed, fold them into the egg and sour cream mixture.
Step 9
Sprinkle in two-thirds of your crushed crackers and two-thirds of the shredded cheddar cheese, then give everything a good stir with a fork until it’s all well combined.
Step 10
Now, for that irresistible topping, spread the remaining cheddar cheese and crushed crackers evenly over the top of your squash mixture.
Step 11
Pop the casserole into your preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and the cracker topping is lightly golden brown.
Step 12
As it bakes, you’ll be treated to a mouthwatering scent that will have everyone eagerly anticipating dinner.
Step 13
Enjoy your scrumptious casserole!.
