For an extra layer of flavor, try sautéing the onions in a tablespoon of butter before steaming.
Feel free to substitute other types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Monterey Jack, for a different flavor profile.
If you don't have a steamer, you can boil the squash and onions until tender, but be sure to drain them well to avoid a watery casserole.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the sour cream mixture for added warmth.

    I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and it turned out great! A little tangier, but still creamy and delicious.
