Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  2. Cook the Squash and Onion:
    • In a large skillet or pot, bring water to a boil. Add the sliced squash and onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Drain well to remove excess moisture.
  3. Mix the Filling:
    • In a large bowl, combine the cooked squash and onion, cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  4. Assemble the Casserole:
    • Pour the squash mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
  5. Prepare the Topping:
    • In a small bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the casserole.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
