Cheesy Southwest Squash Bake
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds yellow squash, cut in 1/4 inch slices
  • 2 sweet onions, quartered and separated
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
  • 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, chopped
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup crushed tortilla chips
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
To begin, lightly coat a large casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the squash, onions, and red bell pepper in a single layer within the dish.
3
Place the prepared casserole dish in the microwave and cook on high for 10 minutes, stirring every minute until the vegetables are tender.
4
Next, combine the mushrooms, green chile peppers, jalapeno peppers, cheese, and sour cream in a bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
5
Add the crushed tortilla chips on top of the vegetable mixture and gently fold them in.
6
Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, then cook on medium-high power for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.
