Creamy yellow squash casserole made southern style! It’s made with sour cream and it’s super cheesy!
Hey y’all who’s in the mood for some good old fashioned southern squash casserole? I seriously can eat it every darn day! I remember I recreated Paula Deens cheesy squash casserole, it was love at first bite! No joke, I loved it. I enjoyed the recipe so much that I added it to my favorite holiday recipes collection. I did, however make a few changes. Not a whole lot, but a few slight ones. Instead of using Ritz crackers (which I love), I like to use fried crispy onions – Like Frenchs. To me it’s more flavorful.
How to Make the Creamiest Squash Casserole Recipe
This cheesy yellow squash casserole is amazing! Instead of using cream of mushroom, this squash casserole is made with sour cream. It’s also loaded with parmesan, and sharp cheddar cheese. The yellow squash is thinly sliced then smothered in a creamy cheesy sauce (that’s also loaded with sweet yellow onions).
Finally this southern squash casserole is topped with delicious golden fried onions. Once the casserole is good to go, it’s place in the oven, and baked to perfection!
When it comes out of the oven you have the most amazing creamy cheesy southern squash casserole.

I’m looking for a Zucchini squash recipe that was a southern dish I had many years ago. It was cooked on top of the stove and the zucchini looked very similar to mashed potatoes. I know there were lots of onions in it but I have no idea what other ingredients/seasoning I should use. Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Charlie
Hi Charlie! I don’t have that recipe posted as of now, sorry.
This receipe is a keeper. Everyone loved it. Will be making again. I give this receipe this 5 stars
