In a large pot, melt the butter and add chopped squash and onion. Cook, stirring as needed, over medium heat for 20 minutes until soft.

In a large glass bowl, add remaining ingredients (only ½ c of bread crumbs) and mix until well combined.

Using a slotted spoon to drain excess liquid, transfer the squash and onion into the large bowl with the sour cream mixture. Mix well.

Pour into a 9×13″ baking dish. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup of bread crumbs on top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. To achieve toasted top, broil at the end. Watch closely so it won’t burn.

Serve warm.
