  2. 1medium carrot, grated (optional)
  3. 1large yellow onion

  5. 1 tsporegano
  6. 1large egg
  7. 8 ozsour cream

  12. 1 tspgarlic powder
  13. 1 tbspItalian seasoning
  14. 2 tbspbutter
  15. 1 tbspoil
  16. Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium high heat, then add in the squash and onion. Sprinkle with salt and mix well. The salt will help draw out water from the veggies.

  2. 2

    Stir the veggies for about five minutes, adding the garlic powder, oregano and dill weed.

  3. 3

    Once the veggies have softened, remove them from the skillet and place in a colander to allow some of the water to drain off. Press on the veggies to squeeze the water out.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, whisk an egg, then add in the squash, onion, cheddar cheese, carrot, sour cream, Italian seasoning and breadcrumbs. Stir until everything is well mixed.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl make your casserole topping: combine the sleeve of Ritz crackers with 1 Tbsp of melted butter. Mix in the Parmesan cheese.

  6. 6

    Pour the casserole mix into an oven safe dish and then top with the bread crumb topping. Make sure the casserole topping is level so it will cook evenly.

  7. 7

    Place the casserole in an oven preheated to 350˚F and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the bread crumb topping turns golden brown.
