Ingredients

For the squash mixture:

  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 medium red onion, diced
  • 5 cups yellow squash, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder, divided
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (I always use Redmond Real Salt)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

For the topping:

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large sauté pan over medium/high heat, add the butter, onion, squash, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and salt. Sauté until squash is tender. 
  2. While the squash is sautéing, in a separate bowl add the chives, mayo, sour cream, sharp cheddar cheese, and ½ teaspoon onion powder. Mix until fully combined. 
  3. When the squash is cooked, add the mayo mixture to the squash and mix well.
  4. Spray a baking dish with avocado oil spray and add the squash mixture to the baking dish.
  5. Prepare the topping. In a small bowl, add the melted butter, chives, and pork panko. Give it a good toss and then sprinkle over the top of the squash mixture.
  6. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until the top is browned and bubbly.
  7. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
