The key to success with keeping this recipe quick and easy is making sure the squash is sliced very thin.

You can achieve this with a knife, obviously, but there is an easier way.

A mandoline slicer makes quick work of prepping the squash and ensures uniformly thin slices.

I use mine for slicing all kinds of vegetables and I love it when slicing seitan for sandwiches.

 

Ingredients for Yellow Squash Casserole:

vegan butter 

yellow squash

shallot

vegan Cheddar cheese – I used Violife

vegan Parmesan cheese – Violife again; their block Parmesan is excellent

vegan sour cream – I use Tofutti brand

sea salt

ground black pepper

butter crackers – for this recipe, I like Ritz Roasted Vegetable

How to make Yellow Squash Casserole:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Into a large, deep skillet, over medium heat, add vegan butter.

When the butter is melted, add yellow squash and shallot.

Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently until softened.

Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Into a large mixing bowl, combine Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, sour cream, sea salt, and ground black pepper.

To the cheese mixture, add the cooked yellow squash. Stir gently, turning over the squash slices until thoroughly coated. 

Into a prepared 11 x 7-inch baking dish, spread the squash mixture.
