ZUCCHINI, SQUASH, AND CORN CASSEROLE
We are obsessed with Zucchini, Squash & Corn Casserole right now..We have it almost every Sunday, especially since zucchini & squash are so available right now...Soft, white breadcrumbs double as a feather-light binder and golden crumb topping. To make them, pulse torn slices of day-old sandwich bread in the food processor.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2. Saute the squash, zucchini and onion in olive oil over medium-low heat until it has completely broken down. I like a little brown on them. *note*- Onion takes less time to cook, so add in when squash is halfway done. add salt and pepper.
- 3. When done, put squash, onion, and zucchini on a paper plate, or plate lined with a paper towel, to soak up extra oil.
- 4. while still hot, put in a buttered casserole dish, with cheese and sour cream, and mix well.
- 5. melt butter in microwave and crush the crackers in a ziplock bag.
- 6. spread the crackers evenly over the squash and cheese mixure. pour melted butter over the ritz crackers to allow crackers to brown in oven!
- 7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until crackers are browned but not burned!

- Choose fresh, firm squash and zucchini. Avoid vegetables that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Wash the squash and zucchini thoroughly. You can use a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.

- Cut the squash and zucchini into small pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook the squash and zucchini until they are tender. You can do this by boiling, steaming, or roasting them.
- Use a variety of cheeses in the casserole. This will give it a more complex flavor. Good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
- Add other vegetables to the casserole, such as onions, peppers, or mushrooms. This will add more flavor and texture.
- Season the casserole with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
- Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
