A classic recipe, Old Fashioned Southern Squash Casserole, has tender squash cooked with onion and a buttery cracker top.

This is an easy comfort food side dish, this Old Fashioned Southern Squash Casserole makes a lovely pot-luck and family reunion recipe that's always a crowd-pleaser

A great recipe to use summer produce, Old Fashioned Southern Squash Casserole takes just minutes to cook with basic ingredients you already have in your pantry.

I just love a recipe that I can make in minutes, don’t you? This is one of those recipes. It’s basically two-steps and very few ingredients. An easy comfort food side dish, this Old Fashioned Southern Squash Casserole makes a lovely pot-luck and family reunion recipe that’s always a crowd-pleaser.

Old Fashioned Southern Squash Casserole

  1. It’s hard to say how many squash you need since they come in different sizes. And, I’ve never measured in a measuring cup. Here’s how I measure. I slice the squash about 1/2-inch thick and lay them in my 9×9 baking dish until it’s ‘almost’ full. Next, I transfer them to a skillet and proceed with the recipe.
  2. I used cheddar cheese because I always have cheddar cheese in the fridge. But, if you prefer another cheese, use what you have. You know, any gooey cheese will taste fantastic with the squash.
  3. As well, I do recommend a butter cracker like Ritz brand, Keebler Tollhouse, or Keebler Club crackers. Saltine brand, in my opinion, aren’t as good.
  4. Finally, I don’t like the squash cooked down until they’re mushy. I like some texture. Therefore, I cook them until they are tender but still firm. If a fork goes into the easily, they’re cooked through and ready for the other ingredients.

  1. First of all, I ended up baking my casserole this time in the 12-inch skillet that I cooked the squash and onions in.
  2. Additionally, I love a good, basic box grater for my cheese.
  3. Finally, I almost always reach for my wooden spoons when I’m cooking on the stovetop.

    Wonderful recipe! Made it just as it read, other than doubling it. Came out great, was a huge hit at our thanksgiving dinner. Even had some asking me to send them the recipe as well.

    Is the second measure of parm mixed into the butter cracker mix, or sprinkled on dry?

    We used to call this Cracker Casserole because one of my kids didn’t like squash. It still didn’t change her mind, but the name stuck in our family! This sounds real tasty!

    Wishes for tasty dishes,
    Linda

    Thanks for this recipe! Can’t wait to try it as it sounds BETTER than the one I used to make growing up in NC many years ago (I’m 70 now and living in MD for 50 yrs). YUM! I wonder how much trouble it would be for you to change your font on printouts to black rather than gray for poor OLD eyes to see easier? Thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask since I LOVE and print out so many of your recipes and it would be such a HELP to me – perhaps to some others as well? If not, oh well, I’ll still be here! Love your recipes!!
