Ingredients

Scale

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

    5. Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish and pour in the squash mixture, spreading evenly.

    6. In a small bowl, combine crushed crackers (or breadcrumbs) with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole.

    7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

    8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
