Categories     Casserole

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 pounds yellow squash, sliced ¼-inch thick (from 5 medium squash)
1 medium-size yellow onion, chopped (about 1 ½ cups)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 (8-oz.) container sour cream
4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
2 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded (about ½ cup)
½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 sleeves round buttery crackers (such as Ritz), coarsely crushed
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, shredded (about ¼ cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add squash, onion, and 1 teaspoon of the salt; cook, stirring often, until center of squash is just tender and liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a colander set over a bowl. Drain 5 minutes; discard any liquid.
  • Stir together eggs, sour cream, Cheddar and Swiss cheeses, mayonnaise, thyme, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Gently fold in squash mixture. Spoon into a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch (2-quart) baking dish.
  • Microwave remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a medium-size microwavable bowl on HIGH until melted, about 25 seconds. Toss together crackers, Parmesan cheese, and melted butter until combined; sprinkle over casserole. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

YELLOW SQUASH CASSEROLE



Yellow Squash Casserole image

Famed 18th-century naturalist John Bartram once pronounced a dish of boiled squash "poor entertainment." Some preparations still merit that memorable epitaph, but this souffle-like casserole of summer squash can take an Oscar on any stage. The common crookneck variety suggested in the recipe is one of our oldest domesticated squashes, probably native to New Jersey, according to William Woys Weaver in Heirloom Vegetable Gardening (1997).

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 pounds crookneck yellow squash or other yellow summer squash
1/4 pound zucchini or additional yellow summer squash
1/2 cup coarse-chopped carrots
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 large onion, preferably yellow, chopped
1 plump garlic clove, minced
1 1/4 cups saltine or Ritz cracker crumbs
1/2 cup grated mild to medium Cheddar cheese
Hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
Salt and freshly milled black pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a medium baking dish.
  • Slice the yellow squash and zucchini lengthwise into quarters, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Place the yellow squash, zucchini and carrots in a saucepan, barely cover with water and salt well. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium and cover. Cook about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft.
  • Meanwhile, warm 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the onion and cook slowly until very soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute. Scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl. Wipe out the skillet, return it to medium-low heat, and add to it the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs and cook briefly until the crumbs are golden. Scrape them onto a small plate and reserve them.
  • Drain the squash mixture, mashing the vegetables just a bit. Spoon it into the mixing bowl. Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup of cracker crumbs, cheese and a good splash or two of the pepper sauce. Salt and pepper generously to taste. Stir in the eggs and spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Scatter the toasted cracker crumbs over the top. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, until golden brown and lightly firm in the center. Serve hot.

YELLOW SQUASH CASSEROLE



Yellow Squash Casserole image

Yum! If you like a squash casserole that's full of flavor, this is one of the best we've had. The slightly sweet squash and onions are a nice contrast with the creamy savory filling. Water chestnuts give the dish a slight crunch. Topping with cheese and fried onions add even more flavor to this already wonderful casserole recipe....

Provided by Judy Martin

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

10-12 fresh yellow squash
1 large sweet onion, diced
1 can(s) cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
1 can(s) sliced water chestnuts, diced
8 oz sour cream
salt and pepper, to taste
4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 can(s) French fried onions
4 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Saute chopped onion in 4 tablespoons of butter in a 10 inch covered skillet. Cook until onions are transparent.
  • 2. Add yellow squash which has been washed, ends removed, and sliced into 1/4 inch slices. Squash simmering will make its own water, so place the squash in on top of the onions and with the fire low, begin steaming the squash slowly in the covered skillet. Stir frequently.
  • 3. When the squash begins to make its own juice, add a light sprinkle of salt and pepper and then the diced water chestnuts.
  • 4. Continue to stew squash until squash is tender and the water is mostly cooked out.
  • 5. When the squash is falling apart, drain well in a colander.
  • 6. Pour into a large mixing bowl. Add the soup and the sour cream.
  • 7. Taste for salt and pepper.
  • 8. Pour squash mixture into a 9X13 baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • 9. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
  • 10. Remove foil. Top with cheddar cheese.
  • 11. Then top the casserole with a can of French fried onions. Return to oven until onions are lightly browned (about 10 minutes).
