Add 3 cups of squash to a pan and fill with water until it's about halfway full.

Bring the water to a boil and let the squash boil for about 10 minutes to break it down.

Drain the squash thoroughly to remove all water.

Use a potato masher to mash the squash until it's leveled out with some chunky pieces remaining.

Add 1 cup of sautéed onions in butter to the mashed squash.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of garlic powder to the mixture.

Add 1 cup of crushed Ritz crackers to the squash mixture.

Add 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese to the mixture.

Add 1/2 cup of sour cream to the mixture and stir everything together until well combined.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Transfer the mixture into a buttered casserole dish (approximately 8x9 or 8x10).

Crumble additional Ritz crackers (about 1/2 cup) on top of the casserole before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to melt the cheese and blend flavors.
