SQUASH CASSEROLE
Squash Casserole is definitely a holiday favorite, but we enjoy it all year. I hope you will get to make the casserole soon.
We have been eating this squash casserole recipe like mad this summer. I made it for Labor Day, and we devoured it. The squash flavor is straightforward—just delightful!
Summer squash is plentiful this time of year, and there are so many local farmers.
That is what I love about the little grocery store in my small town.
They stock fresh vegetables from our local farmers. I buy all my fresh tomatoes, green tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, okra, squash, and zucchini from them while they still offer them.

WHAT MAKES MY SQUASH CASSEROLE EXCEPTIONAL
- Cut the squash into 1/4-inch slices and the onion into chunks instead of chopping. The texture is phenomenal with the creamy sauce.
- I saute the sliced squash and chopped onions together in avocado oil with salt and pepper only until they turn bright in color. By sauteing them rather than boiling them, I keep the squash's straightforward flavor.
- The creamy sauce is made with two eggs, sour cream, white cheddar cheese, and—this one is a must—mayonnaise. It is rich and delicious yet does not overpower the squash. Use the white cheddar cheese—do not substitute. You will thank me later.
- Mix half of the grated cheese with the creamy mixture and save the rest to add to the topping. This balances out the flavor profile when eating the casserole. The delivery is amazing.
- Cook the casserole only long enough to cook the eggs, the cheese, and the crackers until they are bubbly and golden brown. This is paramount to the casserole's structure.
