Southern Yellow Squash Casserole

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheddar

💰Cheaper: colby cheese

Colby cheese often costs less and melts similarly.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Pecorino is often cheaper and adds a similar salty flavor.

Slice the yellow squash about 1/4 inch thick.

In a large skillet, melt butter and add diced sweet onion and sliced squash, along with salt, pepper, and thyme.

Cook until the squash is fork tender but not overcooked.

Add the squash and onions to a colander to remove extra liquid.

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and mix in sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and cheddar cheese.

Add the drained zucchini and onions to the mixture and combine.

Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish.

Mix melted butter with Ritz cracker crumbs and sprinkle evenly over the casserole.

Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.

Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
