Ingredients

• 4 cups (sliced) zucchini
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup (chopped) onion
• 1 cup (shredded) carrot
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups dry stuffing mix
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 small amount (for greasing) olive oil or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the sliced zucchini and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until slightly softened. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and shredded carrot for 5-7 minutes or until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Add the cooked zucchini, sautéed onions, and carrots to the soup mixture. Stir until combined.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the dry stuffing mix with the vegetable broth. Stir gently until the stuffing is evenly moistened but not soggy.

Step 7

Spread half of the stuffing mixture into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Layer the zucchini mixture on top of the stuffing, then finish with the remaining stuffing.

Step 8

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy your Zucchini Stuffing Casserole!
