Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes minutes

Total Time 45 minutes minutes

Ingredients

• 4 cups diced yellow squash (about 2 1/2 medium squash)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (plus 1/4 cup for topping)
• 1 cup instant white rice (uncooked)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 F and prepare a 9” x 9” or 8” x 10” baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
• Into a large bowl, add all ingredients (except for Cheddar cheese reserved for topping). Mix thoroughly to combine.
• Add mixture to prepared baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese. *see notes for alternative prep method
• Bake for 35 minutes until liquid has absorbed and cheese topping has browned.
• Serve and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

*Alternative prep method: As this casserole bakes, the rice at the top of the dish becomes crispy. If you would prefer this not to happen, leave off the cheese in Step 3, and halfway through baking, stir the top layer of the casserole under. Then, add the cheese for the second half of the baking process.
