How to Make 2Bleu's Zucchini Yellow Squash Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In batches, sauté 3 lbs of diced zucchini and yellow squash in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Cover for the first 5 minutes to release moisture, then stir occasionally until softened and slightly browned (15-20 minutes total).
  3. Transfer the cooked squash to a large colander to drain for 10-15 minutes. Then, place the drained squash in a very large bowl.
  4. In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 bell pepper (chopped); sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  5. Remove from heat and immediately stir in ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, 1 cup sour cream, 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, and ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Add the drained squash to the cheese mixture and gently stir to combine.
  7. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  8. Top with 1 ½ cups crushed Ritz crackers.
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the casserole to set.
