Ingredients

8 yellow summer squash, thinly sliced
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup low-fat sour cream
1 sleeve buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed, divided
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 1-quart casserole dish and gather all ingredients for this squash casserole recipe.
Steam squash and onion until tender. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan with water just below the steamer. Boil water, add squash and onion, cover, and steam for 10-15 minutes until squash is easily mashed.
Combine egg and sour cream in the casserole dish, then add the steamed squash and onions. Mix in 2/3 of the crackers and 2/3 of the Cheddar cheese until well combined.
Top the squash casserole with the remaining Cheddar cheese and cracker crumbs for a delicious, golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot, bubbly, and the topping is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
