1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Wash and chop 2 medium yellow squash and 1 medium onion into roughly 1/2-inch pieces.
3. Boil the chopped squash and onion in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain VERY thoroughly.
4. Mash the cooked squash and onion with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth.
5. 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.
6. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter in a separate bowl.
7. Pour the squash mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
8. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the casserole.
9. Sprinkle 1 cup of crushed cracker crumbs (or bread crumbs) over the melted butter.
10. Optional: Add a pinch of nutmeg to the squash mixture for extra warmth.
