How to Make Aunt Fanny S Baked Yellow Squash
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and chop 2 medium yellow squash and 1 medium onion into roughly 1/2-inch pieces.
- Boil the chopped squash and onion in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain VERY thoroughly.
- Mash the cooked squash and onion with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed squash mixture with 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter.
- Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter in a separate bowl.
- Pour the squash mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of crushed cracker crumbs (or bread crumbs) over the melted butter.
- Optional: Add a pinch of nutmeg to the squash mixture for extra warmth.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
