Cheesy Squash and Zucchini Casserole

  4.7 – 135 reviews  • Summer Squash

Delicious, tender turkey! To create this outstanding roast turkey with stuffing, I blended two of my favorite turkey recipes.

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hr
Servings: 8
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound yellow squash, sliced
  2. 1 pound zucchini, sliced
  3. ½ onion, diced
  4. 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  5. ½ cup biscuit baking mix (such as Bisquick®)
  6. ½ cup butter
  7. 2 eggs
  8. 1 tablespoon white sugar
  9. 1 teaspoon salt
  10. 10 saltine crackers, or as needed, crushed
  11. ¼ cup bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil. Add yellow squash, zucchini, and onion; bring back to a boil, and cook vegetables until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer vegetables to a large bowl.
  3. Mix Cheddar cheese, baking mix, butter, eggs, sugar, and salt with the cooked vegetables using a large spoon; stir until butter has melted and baking mix has dissolved. Fold crushed crackers into the mixture until the liquid has been absorbed. Pour mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish; top with bread crumbs.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until topping is lightly browned and cheese is melted, 30 minutes.

Paula Wheeler
I doubled the recipe and put two packs of ritz crackers in the casserole and one on top. VERY GOOD!!!!
Jenny Roach
I’ve made it and my family and friends can’t get enough of it. I’ve even used it on my menu for my small catering company and again my customers love it.
James Hull
I have made this recipe numerous times and everyone always compliments it. It’s easy to make and delicious!
Lucas Benton
It tasted better second time I made it with broccoli and cauliflower instead of zucchini.
Grant Anderson
A lot of people said it was too ‘bready’ but I actually liked it that way. I didn’t have saltines, but I had Cheez-its and used those instead and it was amazing!! This is definitely a keeper!!
Carla Bishop
This was delicious & a big hit at a BBQ we hosted.
Rachel Phillips
I used pancake/waffle mix as did not have biscuit mix. So, I left out the 1 TBS sugar. I used Ritz crackers and some cheese with the breadcrumbs for the topping. This is a creamy and delicious recipe.
Thomas Park
Awesome! Only thing I added was extra cheese on top with bread crumbs- amazingly good
Edward Bell
I changed the Saltine Crackers to Townhouse crackers.

Mixed together in a large bowl — 10 oz bag shredded carrots with the uncooked yellow squash, zucchini and onion. In a separate bowl, doubled the quantities for the Cheddar cheese, Bisquick, butter, eggs, sugar and salt. Combined this with the vegetable mixture, mixed well and poured into 9×13″ baking dish. Used Ritz crackers instead of saltines and Panko instead of generic bread crumbs. Doubled the quantities for both, combined well and sprinkled over the top of the casserole. Baked for 40-45 minutes. YUM!

There was no flavor, even when I added sweet red pepper. Very pasty tasting.
Tina Roberts
I halved this recipe for the two of us. Sauteed the veggies in a bit of olive oil, put a lid on to steam. Added a bit more cheese and a bit less Bisquick. Excellent! I will be making this again!
Amanda Martinez
Delicious! I used crushed Texas Toast croutons instead of saltines. Also used Panko crumbs on top.
John Burnett DVM
made this tonight. Baked it on my grill! that smoke seasoning added wonders to this great recipe!
Robin Garrison
This is a nice change from sautéed. I might adjust & add cauliflower next time!
Joshua Henry
Excellent as written, but I made a few minor changes, diced all veggies to medium size, added a small diced seeded tomato and a few tablespoons of minced green pepper. Next time I’ll simply add some diced red pepper for color and flavor, omitting tomato and green pepper. Sautéed the veggies until tender, drained thoroughly. I used crushed ritz crackers, and it took about twenty to absorb the excess moisture. Topped with 1/2 cup of cornbread stuffing mix. The topping gives a nice crunchy texture.

This recipe was delicious and everyone loved it!! it was a big hit and I have continued to make it many times. I have made a few variations to the original recipe using only half the butter and with panko crumbs instead of saltines. I sprinkle black pepper and a few red pepper flakes on the top before baking.
Jimmy Greene
This was very good. The only thing I added was some dill and thyme. The only change would be to cut back on the boil time so that the veggies are a little more Al Dente the squash got too mushy. Very good will do this again.
David Smith
I made this following suggestions by Mordy (use croutons instead of crackers and made my own baking mix). I also nuked the vegetables instead of boiling them. It was really delicious!!!
Andrew Clark
Fabulous! Will be making again and sharing! Even my ‘discerning’ husband had two helpings. I modified like many others using homemade biscuit mix and sautéing the veggies rather than boiling. I also added 1 chopped jalapeño, 1 chopped poblano, and 1 chopped beefsteak tomato because that’s what my garden provided this day. I also did not need the crackers to absorb juice and tossed them on top, but they are not needed. Finally, I used half cheddar and half Swiss because that’s what I had, but I’ll try it as written next time and I’m sure it’ll still be 5 stars. Thank you, HALR9000!
