ZUCCHINI, SQUASH, AND CORN CASSEROLE
We are obsessed with Zucchini, Squash & Corn Casserole right now..We have it almost every Sunday, especially since zucchini & squash are so available right now...Soft, white breadcrumbs double as a feather-light binder and golden crumb topping. To make them, pulse torn slices of day-old sandwich bread in the food processor.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2. Saute the squash, zucchini and onion in olive oil over medium-low heat until it has completely broken down. I like a little brown on them. *note*- Onion takes less time to cook, so add in when squash is halfway done. add salt and pepper.
- 3. When done, put squash, onion, and zucchini on a paper plate, or plate lined with a paper towel, to soak up extra oil.
- 4. while still hot, put in a buttered casserole dish, with cheese and sour cream, and mix well.
- 5. melt butter in microwave and crush the crackers in a ziplock bag.
- 6. spread the crackers evenly over the squash and cheese mixure. pour melted butter over the ritz crackers to allow crackers to brown in oven!
- 7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until crackers are browned but not burned!
Tips:
- Choose the right squash and zucchini: For the best flavor and texture, use a variety of squash and zucchini, such as yellow squash, zucchini, and butternut squash.
- Prepare the squash and zucchini properly: To prevent the squash and zucchini from becoming watery, salt them and let them rest for 30 minutes before cooking. Then, drain off the excess liquid.
- Don't overcook the squash and zucchini: Overcooked squash and zucchini will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Gruyère cheese are both good options.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients: This casserole is a great opportunity to use up leftover vegetables or herbs. Try adding some chopped spinach, kale, or fresh herbs, such as basil or thyme.
Conclusion:
Squash and zucchini casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and impressive squash and zucchini casserole that everyone will love.
