Zucchini with Stuffing Casserole Recipe

Perfect for a summer potluck, family reunion or warm vegetable side dish at the holidays this casserole is versatile and easy to make!

Like a zucchini squash sandwiched between layers of chicken flavored dressing this recipe is unique, but still delicious.

We enjoy recipes like this one, our Baked Vegetable Medley and Broccoli and Mushroom Casserole that helps us eat more veggies without getting bored.

We have eaten this alone for a light dinner in the summer heat, but it’s more popular as a side at a bigger meal.

Why This Recipe Works:

  • Great way to use lots of zucchini from the garden or a friend
  • So much flavor while being a bit unique, but still easy to make
  • While it makes a big batch the leftovers reheat well within 1 – 2 days
  • Parmesan cheese can be sprinkled on top of the vegetable mixture for even more flavor
  • Adds variety to vegetables on the dinner table

Ingredients Needed:

  • Zucchini – young, tender zucchini squash that are firm and fresh produce the best results.
  • Onion – sweet, white, or yellow onion all work fine. I like to chop coarsely since they get boiled briefly with the zucchini.
  • Carrots – cleaned and shredded or pre-cut into matchsticks work great.
  • Cream of chicken soup – makes the recipe so creamy! Other cream of celery, cheddar cheese or cream of mushroom soups may be substituted to change the flavor profile.
  • Sour cream – another creamy ingredient.

How to Make This Zucchini Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F Slice up the zucchini and coarsely chop the onions. Grate carrots if necessary.

In a large mixing bowl stir together cream of chicken soup, sour cream and carrots.

Bring pot of water to a boil. Salt water before adding zucchini and onions. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes and drain well.

In a small mixing bowl melt butter and stir in the packet of stuffing mix.

Then pour creamy vegetable mixture evenly over the top. Take care not to displace too much of the stuffing mixture.

Sprinkle remaining stuffing mixture evenly over the top. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes until the stuffing is a nice golden brown and the casserole is baked through.

Recipe Tips & Tricks:

  • Slicing fresh zucchini thinly allows for maximum creaminess and diversity of flavors in every bite
  • Buying shredded carrots saves time and makes this an easy vegetable casserole recipe
  • 6 cups of sliced zucchini is about 4 – 5 small zucchini
  • We prefer small, tender, young zucchini that have much smaller seeds and thinner rinds
  • Vegetables can easily be doubled to make a healthier casserole with a lower cream and stuffing ratio

    I love this casserole. I added Italian cheese blend shreds on top. I grew up using this recipe but lost it in a move. Thank you.
