Equipment
- Casserole dish
- Mixing bowl
- Chopping board
- Sharp knife
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 4 cups Yellow squash sliced
- 2 cups Zucchini sliced
- 1 Large onion chopped
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1 cup Ritz crackers crushed
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 Eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground black pepper
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Vegetables
- Slice the yellow squash and zucchini.
- Chop the onion.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the vegetables in butter until soft.
- Cooking the veggies before assembling the casserole removes excess moisture, preventing a soggy bottom.
Step 2 – Mix the Casserole Base
- In your mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with crushed crackers, shredded cheese, eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Stir until everything is well mixed.
- A good mix ensures each bite is as flavorful as the last.
Step 3 – Assemble the Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease your casserole dish lightly with butter.
- Transfer the vegetable and cracker mixture into the dish.
Step 4 – Bake
- Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Always check your casserole at the 25-minute mark to prevent overcooking.
Notes
- For a crisper top, broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes.
- Allow the casserole to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving; this helps it set and makes it easier to serve.
