Yellow Squash Casserole

par

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Squash:
    • Slice the yellow squash into rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. You can also cut the squash into half-moons if preferred.
    • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced squash and chopped onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the onion is softened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Make the Casserole Mixture:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until everything is well mixed.
    • Add the cooked squash and onion mixture to the bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme (if using), and stir gently to combine.
  3. Assemble the Casserole:
    • Transfer the squash mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it evenly.
    • In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs or crushed crackers with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  4. Bake:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.
  5. Serve:
    • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
