- Boil the squash and onion with plenty of salt and pepper until the onion is transparent and the squash is translucent, about 5 minutes or so.
- Drain vegetables.
- Press the Cheez-Its into the bottom of the baking dish to make a crust.

I am amazed at how great this casserole was for having just a few basic ingredients. The yellow squash at the store wasn't looking too good, so I went ahead and used only zucchini. Also, I can no longer seem to find the hot and spicy Cheez-its in the stores around here, but I did use the new Pepper Jack Cheez-its. Anyway, this casserole came out great. This recipe enhanced the flavor of the zucchini, which often gets overpowered in casserole recipes. Thanks!
