Yellow Squash Casserole

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Casseroles

Tender squash, gooey cheese, and crunchy crackers make this a memorable side dish or a hearty main course, This is a great dish that can be made with low-fat ingredients and is still just as good!

"This casserole was so delicious. Had company over, and it was the rave. I used a combination of yellow squash and zucchini. I seasoned the vegetable mixture with celery salt while it sauteed with the onion. The key to this recipe is to use a really good cheddar cheese. I think it makes a big difference. Great recipe." - Psalmchild63

    I would not consider this a main dish. It was tasty. I added a jalepeno and lots of mrs. Dash seasoning because I read that the meal was pretty bland. Next time I make this I will add an extra cup of cheese

    Great recipe, I sub. The crackers for stove top stuffing mix and it was very good. I sprinkled extra cheese on top after 20 min and next time I will just add it into the mix.

    This is a GREAT base recipe and super easy to subsitute. No squash? Zuccini, or both like I do. No crackers? Crumbled toast works great. No cheese? Better run to the store because you're gonna need it! Couple things: I used Lawry's seasoning pretty liberally so there was no blandness at all. Also, skipped the butter until after 20 minutes in the oven then took it out, covered in small butter pats and another cup of cheese then back in for 5. Perfect!!

    I have made this now a few times. It's addictive! Even a non squash lover will like this dish. It reheats really well, IF you have leftovers! This will be a staple recipe in my kitchen! Great as a side to roast chicken.

    This is an ok dish but kind of bland.
    1 years, 5 months, 6 days, 3 hours, 13 minutes ago
    This has become one of our family favorites. We usually use green zucchini from out neighbors garden instead of the yellow squash. When we want to turn it into a main dish we add chicken and that works nicely as well.

    Very tasty, my dish was a big hit even with my non squash eaters! I did add some garlic, dill, & sauté the onion & squash w/ white wine. Did not drain, but added 1/4 extra crackers. Am making this for Thanksgiving potluck!

    Delicious casserole and a great way to use up squash if you have a garden like we do! My whole family loved it! I added zucchini to it too as a variation. We will definitely make it again.

    Awesome! I used veggie flavor ritz crackers, also added some garlic powder and a pinch of saffron. sautee onion and some garlic in a llittle evoo (or grapeseed oil) then toss in the squash and water (or wine or chicken stock) for more dimension of flavor.
