Ingredients

1 small onion, finely chopped
5 strips bacon, coarsely chopped
2 pounds yellow squash, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs, beaten
8 ounces sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 sleeve buttery crackers (like Ritz), crushed ((about 32 crackers))
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, or until bacon is crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan to drain on paper towels and allow the rendered bacon grease to remain in the pan.
Add the onions to the bacon grease and cook for about 5 minutes or until translucent.
Add garlic, sauté until just fragrant - about 1 minute.
Add squash and saute 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine beaten eggs, sour cream, salt, pepper, and cheese. Mix well.
Add squash and bacon mixture to bowl. Mix well. Turn out into the prepared casserole dish.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed crackers with the melted butter and toss to coat the crackers in the butter. Sprinkle the crackers evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until casserole is browned and bubbly. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
