Zucchini Casserole to Die For

Submitted by MeredithRS

"Its the time of year for zucchini and neighbors keep sharing their bumper crop with us. The problem is we don't like zucchini! I needed to find another venue other than zucchini bread and muffins. I came up with this recipe and it has been a smash hit with everyone!"

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 7

ingredients

• 6 cups zucchini (large, grated or diced)
• 1 cup grated carrot
• 1⁄2 cup diced onion

• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 (8 ounce) package seasoned stuffing mix

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a small bowl, combine cream of chicken soup and sour cream; set aside.
3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat.
4. Add onion and sauté until soft.
5. Add grated or diced zucchini and grated carrots.
6. Stir frequently until zucchini is soft; about 5 minutes.
7. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked veggies, soup mixture and seasoned stuffing together, stirring gently until well mixed.
8. Spread into a lightly greased 13"x9" baking dish.

12. Hope yours enjoys it too!

My family loved it and thinks it would be even more delicious by adding the chicken. My son isn't a big zucchini/squash eater. He eats it but loved this recipe! I wonder if you have made it ahead and frozen to cook later? Thank you!

This is great! Tried a couple of days after Thanksgiving and used the leftover stuffing. Next time I will try with cornbread stuffing and cooked chicken, diced up. Deb

My family LOVED this....each and everyone of my TEENAGE BOYS told me it was their favorite thing that I have made. My 17 yr old son asked for it just three days after I made it the first time and my 22 year old wanted the receipe for his in-laws. This is a smash hit! Thanks!!!!

This recipe really is to die for! I added some crushed red pepper flakes and two cloves of garlic. Also cut the butter in half and used 1/4 cup of olive oil instead.. and I used fat free sour cream. I also followed the other reviewers suggestion and used corn bread stuffing mix.

This dish is excellent for the whole family...imagine my amazement when they all came back for seconds and wanted more after it was gone...very subtle hint of zucchini flavor ...tastes just like turkey and dressing ...I used cornbread dressing..Thank you so much for posting this recipe..loved it
