Recipe type: Vegetable Side Dish
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
  • 2 small zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 2 small yellow squash, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shredded Colby Jack or cheddar cheese, plus more for sprinkling on top
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling on top
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp dehydrated minced onion
  • 1½ tsp garlic salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 cup crushed Ritz Crackers
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Thinly slice the zucchini and yellow squash. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the ½ cup Colby Jack cheese, softened cream cheese, sour cream, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, eggs, dehydrated onion, garlic salt, and pepper.
  4. Once the sauce is thoroughly mixed, add the sliced squash and toss until everything is well coated.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and crushed Ritz Crackers.
  6. Pour squash mixture into a glass baking dish. You can choose the size. I used a 1½-quart dish. (Read the second paragraph of this post to see how dish size affects cooking time.)
  7. Next, top the squash with a handful of shredded cheese, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, and then the buttery Ritz Cracker crumbs.
  8. Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the baking dish you choose. Bake the casserole until the entire dish is hot and bubbly throughout, the squash is tender, and the crackers are nicely browned. My casserole was so thick and needed 1 hour and 40 minutes to cook because of the pan I chose.
  9. Enjoy!
