Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large crookneck yellow squash or 2 large summer squash
1 large zucchini
1/2 cup coarsely-chopped carrot
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 large yellow sweet onion, chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 1/4 cracker crumbs
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Tabasco sauce
salt and pepper
2 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°. Spray a medium casserole dish with vegetable cooking spray, such as Pam.
  • Slice the squashes into lengthwise quarters, then slice crosswise. Place the squashes and carrots in a saucepan, cover with water, and salt well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cover. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, melt 3 TB of the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the onion and cook slowly until very tender and translucent, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or so. Place the mixture into a mixing bowl.
  • Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and return it to medium-low heat. Add the remaining tablespoon butter; melt. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs and cook for a minute or so, until crumbs are golden brown. Put them on a small plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Now drain the squash mixture. Mash vegetables slightly with a fork or potato masher. Spoon the squash into the mixing bowl with the onions. Stir in the rest of the uncooked cracker crumbs, the cheese and a dash or two of Tabasco. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the eggs and spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Scatter the toasted crumbs over the top.
  • Bake the casserole, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, until golden brown and lightly firm in the center. Serve hot.

Low Carb Yellow Squash Casserole image

This recipe was created to use up a large amount of squash we were given. We modified an existing recipe, swapping almonds for crackers and whole cream for milk. It satisfies my husband's diet and tastes great!

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups peeled and cubed yellow squash
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup finely chopped raw almonds

  • Mix raw almonds and 1/2 cup Colby-Monterey Jack cheese together in a bowl; stir into squash mixture. Whisk cream and eggs together in a measuring cup or small bowl; stir into squash mixture. Pour squash mixture into a 9x13-inch casserole dish; top with remaining Colby-Monterey Jack cheese and roasted almonds.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is golden brown and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.
