Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound yellow squash, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crushed butter crackers
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the skillet.
  3. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the sliced yellow squash, cooked onion and bell pepper mixture, and the reserved crispy bacon.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. Pour this mixture over the squash and bacon.
  6. Gently stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the crushed butter crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the casserole.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  10. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra smoky flavor, you can use smoked paprika in the casserole.
  • If you prefer a creamier casserole, feel free to add a little more milk.
  • You can substitute other cheeses like Monterey Jack or a Swiss cheese blend for the cheddar.
