Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds yellow squash, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter, divided

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the squash mixture. You can also substitute Ritz crackers for the buttery round crackers.
