We all loved this casserole so much! I followed the basic recipe, but tweaked a couple things. I used buttermilk instead of plain milk. I aldo used 1/2 herb stuffing cubes (crushed) and 1/2 ritz crackers. I don’t normally cook the sliced squash first, but I did this time. It really did make a better casserole, so won’t skip this step from here on out. Next time (and there will DEFINITELY be a next time), I’ll caramelize the onions first for an additional flavor layer. Yummm!

YUMMM. Roasted 6 cups veggies (2/3 squash, 1/3 zucchini) 20 min in oven, seasoned w/fresh ground salt & peppers. All other ingredient amounts as listed in recipe. Used Ritz for in the middle, and saltines for the top. One 8” square glass pan. DELISH, friends raved.
Jessica Evans
Loved it!!! Make sure you short cook the squash so it’s not total mush. This is a really great squash casserole recipe!
William Dunn
I wanted to use the summer squash I had and happened to have the ingredients on hand. I took it to a family get together and everyone commented how delicious it tasted. I’ll definitely make it again
Kristen Hart
Loved it. I’ve made squash casserole using this recipe a lot of times . I use 1 egg & omit the crackers but use 1 tablespoon of flour but still delicious. My husband and I Love it.
Miss Sara Mack
My mother and now my family didn’t add milk and mashed the squash completely adding ingredients while hot then baked.
Jessica Clark
Tastes just like the yummy squash casseroles from my childhood.

I used a mix of zucchini and yellow squash sautéed in olive oil with vidalia onion and a couple cloves of garlic. Followed the rest of the recipe but added extra cheese. I didn’t find it overly eggy at all, maybe because of sautéing instead of boiling.

I have been using this recipe for at least two years. It’s a favorite of my family. I have successfully frozen and reheated this casserole so we enjoyed it all year! Delicious and easy!

This is also great using saltines and a tiny bit of sugar to amp up the flavors! It taste different but equally delish and gives u a cracker option if u are out of one. I also nuke my butter and stir into the crackers, incorporating well & then mix in the cheese.

I made this last night and it was very good. The whole family loved it. After reading some of the comments about it being greasy and tasting like the crackers. I omitted the melted butter and the amount of crackers. I sautéed the onions in avocado oil, then added the sliced squash and water. Instead of mixing it all into a batter in a bowl, I greased the baking dish, drained the squash and onions and put it directly in the dish. I poured the egg and milk mixture, then put some of the cracker mixture in and stirred it to combine it. (saved washing another bowl — LOL). I topped it with the remaining cracker and cheese mixture. Reducing the number of crackers meant I couldn’t completely cover the top of the dish, it looked more a fruit crisp. I put a couple squares of butter on top. It turned out really well, the topping was wonderfully crisp and tasty, and you could still taste the squash. I agree, you need to spice it up as you would like it. I just used pepper, but everyone has their favorite spice mix for such things!

My husband couldn’t stop eating this dish!
Richard Armstrong
Delicious. Used 3 eggs, 3-cheese combo instead of cheddar. 9×9 glass dish.
James Anderson
Used this recipe to use up some yellow squash from the CSA. Made the recipe as designed, turned out pretty yummy.
Suzanne Hull
Turned out great! Even used some larger, less than optimal yellow squash. Used a 9×9 glass dish. So I lowered the temp a bit and left it in a few minutes longer. Thanks for the recipe. Will be making again!
Miss Angela Wilson MD
I wanted a basic no frills squash casserole. This is it.
Jessica Huff
I’ll let you know when we’re done with the family reunion
Aaron Moore
I made this recipe as written. I think an 8 x11 dish would work better than the 9 X13. Everything stuck to the bottom of the dish so I would suggest some non stick spray on the dish. I agree with others that said all they tasted was crackers and not the squash. It was very greasy. It was quite the disappointment considering how much we love squash. I’m sure with a few changes it would be good but I won’t be making this again.
Luke Gallegos
So delicious and different way to enjoy squash. Doesn’t matter what size of this recipe I make it’s never enough for my family!
Scott Freeman
Delicious! I followed the recipe except I used pita chips instead of crackers because I didn’t have crackers. I liked the egg in it. Loved it and will make this again.
Monica Jackson
Great recipe! I used zucchini as well.
