Delicious – Two Squash Casserole with a Buttery Ritz Cracker Topping

Print Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 Lbs Yellow squash
• 1 Lb Zucchini
• 6 Tbsp Butter, divided
• 1 Large onion, diced
• 1 Bell pepper, diced
• 1 Cup Sour cream
• 1 1/2 Cups grated cheddar cheese
• 1 Tbsp Dora’s Savanna Seasoning
• 1 Cup Crushed ritz crackers
• 1/2 Cup Canned dried fried onions, crushed

Dora’s Savanna Seasoning

• 1/3 Cup Lawry’s seasoning salt
• 1/4 Cup Salt
• 2 Tsps Garlic powder
• 1 Tbsp Black pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  Put the squash and zucchini in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and simmer just a few minutes, until the squash is tender. Drain well and let it cool, then dry the squash between two towels or paper towels. (It’s important to drain and pat the squash dry, so the casserole isn’t too soupy.)

  Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until soft, 6-7 minutes.

  Scrape the onions and peppers into a large mixing bowl. Add the squashes, sour cream, cheese, and seasoning and stir to mix well. Spread in a 9-by-7-inch or 8-inch-square casserole dish.

  Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, fried onions, and butter and mix well. Sprinkle over the casserole and bake until golden brown and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot or warm.
