Description

This is the squash casserole my family has been making for as long as I can remember, in the summer when yellow squash are plentiful, or during the holidays for a traditional side dish. When we make it at the church, several people always ask for the recipe, scaled down of course. This is the original.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Yellow Squash
  • 1-½ pound Zucchini
  • 1 whole Small Onion, Roughly Chopped
  • 2 cups Water
  • 12 Tablespoons Butter, Melted, Divided
  • 3 cups Crushed Ritz Crackers, Divided
  • ½ cups Milk
  • 10 ounces, weight Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Grated
  • 6 ounces, weight Mozzarella Cheese, Grated
  • 2 whole Eggs, Lighlty Beaten

Preparation

Wash squash and zucchini and cut into medium chunks. Put them in a sauce pan with chopped onion, salt and pepper to taste, and 2 cups water. Cook, covered, over medium heat until squash/zucchini are tender. Drain.

In a large bowl, combine 6 tablespoons of the melted butter, 2 cups of the Ritz cracker crumbs, milk, cheeses, eggs, and the drained squash mixture. Stir lightly just until combined, trying to keep as many large chunks as possible and not have it turn into mush. Pour into a greased casserole dish.

Combine remaining 6 tablespoons melted butter and 1 cup Ritz cracker crumbs and spread over the top. Bake at 325F until browned and bubbling in the middle, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
