Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add squash and onion and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
In a large bowl, combine cooked squash and onion with sour cream, mayonnaise, cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix crushed crackers with melted butter and sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream or mayonnaise for a lighter version.
Add cooked bacon bits or diced pimentos for extra flavor.
Can be made ahead and baked just before serving.
