Ingredients

2 pounds summer squash or zucchini (a combination can be used) 4-6 cups
1 Tablespoon onion flakes
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 eggs slightly beaten
1 1/2 cups crushed crackers
1 stick melted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Wash and dice summer squash/zucchini. Boil in salted water until fork tender. Drain well.
Combine drained squash, onion flakes, cheese and eggs.
Pour into prepared 13 x 9-inch pan.
Spread the crushed crackers over the casserole.
Pour the melted butter over top the cracker crumbs.
Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

This cheesy zucchini casserole uses a 2-step cooking process; first you boil the diced squash in salted water, and then you assemble the casserole and bake in the oven.
You can use all zucchini or all squash in this baked squash casserole if you'd like or use a combination of the two.
Substitute fresh, diced onion for onion flakes, if desired.
Any type of crackers can be used for the crunchy topping. We typically make this squash casserole with Ritz. 1 1/2 cups is approximately one sleeve of butter crackers.
The melted butter and cracker topping makes a delicious crunchy topping. We use a similar concept in 4 Ingredient Broccoli Casserole. Kids go nuts for it!

We typically make this in the summer when we have squash coming out of our ears, but you can find squash all year long at the grocery store.
