How to Make Baked Yellow Squash Casserole
- Boil 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Add 2 medium yellow squash (about 1 pound), peeled, seeded, and chopped, and 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped. Cook until squash is very tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the squash and onion mixture thoroughly in a colander.
- Transfer the cooked squash and onion to a food processor. Add 1/4 cup milk and blend until completely smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the pureed squash mixture with 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
- Mix well to combine all ingredients. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 2-quart casserole dish.
- Bake uncovered in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden brown.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
