This Yellow Squash and Zucchini Casserole is creamy, cheesy, and full of tender veggies with a buttery cracker topping. It’s a delicious way to use fresh summer squash and makes the perfect side for weeknight dinners, holiday tables, or potlucks.
2 medium yellow squash, sliced
2 medium zucchini, sliced
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)
2 tablespoons melted butter
Preheat oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch or similar baking dish.
Sauté veggies: In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add squash, zucchini, and onion. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, until just tender. Drain any excess liquid.
Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine sautéed veggies, cheddar cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Assemble casserole: Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, mix crushed crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the top.
Bake: Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly with a golden topping.
Cool slightly and serve: Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
You can add chopped cooked bacon or diced ham for a heartier version.
Use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream for a lighter option.
