Yellow Squash Turns Into Supper

Squash piles up fast in summer, and a casserole is the easiest way to use it before it goes soft. Butter, onion, cheese, a few crackers on top, and suddenly the side dish is the thing everybody asks for.

Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when the garden is overflowing, when a potluck dish is due, or when they need something warm to go beside a plate of chicken on a Tuesday night.

Every recipe here starts with squash and ends up on the table: the classic Squash casserole, Southern Living Squash Casserole, Mom's squash casserole with pimentos, Jackie's Southern Squash Casserole with cream of chicken soup, plus Alfredo Spaghetti Squash Casserole and Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti Squash Casserole when you want it to be dinner itself.

Squash holds a lot of water, so cook it down and drain it well or the casserole turns soupy.

Quick Tips

1
Drain the squash well
Cook sliced squash and onion 10 to 12 minutes, then press it in a colander to squeeze out the water before mixing.
2
Salt in layers
Salt the squash while it cooks, then taste again after the cheese goes in so you are not fixing it at the table.
3
Add crackers at the end
Stir some crumbs into the filling, then scatter the rest on top with melted butter for the last 15 minutes so they stay crisp.
4
Let it rest
Give the casserole 10 minutes out of the oven before you spoon it up so it sets instead of running across the plate.
