Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sliced squash and chopped onion and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until just tender. Drain well in a colander.

Transfer the squash mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed crackers with the melted butter. Sprinkle this buttery crunch evenly over the top of the casserole, followed by the remaining cheddar cheese.
