Yellow Squash Casserole

Chef #276108's Note:

Even people that claimed not to like squash have liked this casserole, but then my DH that if you put enough cheese on anything it becomes edible! This is true comfort food, NOT low calorie, but worth it for a splurge. The amounts are adjustable according to your taste. If you like a lot of onion, use a big one and if you love cheese use lots. The original recipe just stated to use enough crackers to make soupy, my experience was 3/4 of a sleeve of crackers worked. Zaar doesn't allow either of those so I guesstimated the 1 cup. This is one of those 'until it looks right' recipes. Hope you like!
