1 ½ tablespoons butter, divided
3 summer squash, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
3 zucchini, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 onions, chopped
1 pound shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large white onion
2 c shredded swiss cheese divided or 1/2 with shredded co-jack
2 Tbsp butter
1 can(s) cream of chicken and mushroom soup
2/3 c milk or half and half. i used whipping cream and it's richer but better
1 tsp soy sauce
8 slice french bread buttered on both sides

Steps:

  • 1. In a skillet, saute the onions till they are translucent and just browning.
  • 2. Layer them in the bottom of a 2 qt. casserole. Top with 1/2 of the cheese or cheeses you have mixed.
  • 3. In a saucepan, heat soup, milk and soy sauce. Stir to blend. Pour over onion mixture and top with the bread.
  • 4. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Push the bread down into the soup a bit, cover with the rest of the cheese and bake another 15. I topped mine with some seasoning salt and basil. This is a great dish to serve with a roast or on those meatless meal nights.

Tips:

  • For a crispier topping, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • If you don't have a large baking dish, you can divide the casserole between two smaller dishes.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • When reheating the casserole, cover it with aluminum foil to prevent the topping from drying out.
