Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs yellow squash, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced yellow squash, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and chopped onion.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the squash mixture and toss to combine thoroughly.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased 8×8 inch baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the crushed Ritz crackers evenly over the top of the casserole.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  8. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra cheesy casserole, add a little more cheese.
  • You can substitute other types of crackers for the Ritz, but Ritz crackers provide a classic flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a softer topping, you can mix the melted butter with the crushed crackers before sprinkling them over the casserole.
