1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons kosher salt

Drain vegetable mixture well; let stand at room temperature 15 minutes to cool slightly.

Bake at 350 ° for 40 minutes or until bubbly. Combine cheese crackers and melted butter, and toss to coat. Arrange over casserole. Bake 10 more minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
