Zucchini and Carrot Casserole

Submitted by Alskann

"This is one of my all-time favorite casseroles. I haven't posted it before because I assumed someone would have already posted it. I was looking for something else and came across a similar recipe, but not the same. So I decided to post this before it gets lost. Addendum: I hadn't made this in awhile until tonight. Because I am trying to lose weight I cooked the vegetables in a covered pan sprayed with PAM and omitted the butter. It turned out just fine. I also added some cubed cooked chicken to make this more of a complete dish. So that is another option with this very versatile casserole."

This recipe was the inspiration for dinner tonight. Overall it was pretty good. I made a few changes - I cut the recipe in half and added 2 chicken breasts, cubed and seasoned. I browned the chicken in the pan, added the onions, carrots and zucchini. I then added 1 tbsp chicken bullion and some water, put a lid on the pan and let it steam the veggies. I dumped all this into the bread crumb mix and the mixed it with the soup (I omitted the butter). I added the cheese and put in a 11x7 baking dish (sprayed with pam). I liked the flavor however the kids didn't care for the sliced veggies. Next time I will cube them and maybe change up the cheese.

Excellent casserole and a great way to use zucchini. Enjoyed it very much and will make again next summer when the garden is plentiful. Thanks for posting!
