Zucchini & Yellow Squash Casserole

• Prep Time: 25 minutes
• Cook Time: 55 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
• Servings: 6

Ingredients:

• 3 zucchinis
• 3 yellow squash
• 1 onion
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Garlic powder, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). 🌡️

2. Prepare the Squash:

   • Saute the zucchini and yellow squash in a bit of vegetable oil over medium-low heat until they have completely broken down. This usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. 🥒🔥
   • Line a colander with a clean tea towel. This will help drain the excess moisture from the cooked squash.
   • Place the cooked squash in the lined colander and gently squeeze out any remaining moisture. Set aside for now.

3. Saute the Onion:

   • In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onion to the skillet and saute for about 5 minutes, until it becomes translucent and fragrant. 🧅🔥

4. Mix Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked squash, sauteed onions, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Mix everything together until well combined. 🥣🧀

5. Assemble the Casserole:

   • Grease a casserole dish with a bit of butter to prevent sticking.
   • Pour the squash mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

6. Add the Topping:

   • Top the casserole with a generous layer of cracker crumbs. This will give your dish a deliciously crunchy topping when baked. 🍪

7. Bake:

   • Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges. 🌟🍲

8. Serve:

   • Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish is best enjoyed warm, alongside your favorite main course. 🍽️🎉
