For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter for the topping. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the squash mixture for a warm, subtle spice. If you don't have Ritz® crackers, any buttery cracker will work. You can also use panko breadcrumbs for a different texture. Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the squash mixture. For a tangier flavor, use Mexican crema instead of sour cream.

Mar 10, 2025I found that letting the squash cool completely before adding it to the sour cream mixture prevented it from becoming watery.
