Southern Yellow Squash Casserole
- 7 large yellow squash, diced (about 8 cups)
- 1 large white onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/4 cups sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3/4 cup saltine crackers, crushed (you may also use Ritz crackers)
- 1 dash paprika
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a small, square casserole dish.
- Boil squash and onion in a large pot 15 to 20 minutes until tender.
- Pour the squash and onion into a colander and drain. Press firmly against the mixture until all excess moisture is drained.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine drained squash and onion mixture and stir in butter (while still warm) allowing the butter to melt. Fold in sour cream, garlic salt, black pepper, and 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese (note: reserve the remaining half cup for the topping). Check mixture to see if levels of salt and pepper suit your taste and adjust accordingly.
- Add contents of bowl into the greased casserole dish. Layer with remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, and top with 3/4 cup saltine or Ritz crackers. Gently sprinkle paprika over top for color.
- Bake 25-30 minutes until topping is lightly golden-brown.
