Squash Casserole
Description
Squash Casserole starts by cutting yellow squash into bite-sized pieces and boiling them with chopped sweet onion until tender. After draining, the vegetables are mixed with condensed cream of celery soup, beaten egg, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create a creamy, flavorful base.
The squash mixture is placed into a casserole dish and baked until bubbly and warmed through. A topping of crushed Ritz crackers combined with melted butter is sprinkled over the surface before returning the casserole to the oven to brown the topping. This adds a contrasting crisp texture to the soft and cheesy interior.
This dish works well as a warm side, complementing meats and poultry. The combination of creamy, cheesy flavors with the buttery crumb topping creates a satisfying vegetable casserole experience.
