Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 cups of squash, sliced (zucchini or yellow squash works great!)
4 large eggs, beaten
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1¾ cups of crushed crackers (saltines or your favorite brand)
¾ stick of butter, melted
2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced squash, beaten eggs, chopped onion, garlic salt, crushed crackers, melted butter, and 1½ cups of grated cheddar cheese.

🥄 Make sure to mix until everything is well combined. You want the squash evenly coated and the ingredients nicely distributed for maximum flavor!
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish or similar size.
Sprinkle the reserved ½ cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

🔥 If you notice the cheese browning too quickly, you can cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent burning while it finishes cooking.

Variations

Herb-Infused: Add a tablespoon of fresh thyme or rosemary for an aromatic twist!
Creamy: Incorporate a cup of sour cream or cream cheese into the mixture for an extra creamy texture.
Spicy Kick: Mix in some diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a bit of heat! 🌶️
Low-carb: Replace the crackers with crushed pork rinds or almond flour for a keto-friendly version.

Storage Tips

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through. Enjoy your delicious, homemade casserole again! 🍽️💚
