Zucchini Casserole

We made this yummy casserole for lunch today. It's adapted from the Gooseberry Patch For Bees & Me cookbook.

10 3/4 oz. can cream of chicken soup
4 cups stuffing mix [save half for topping]
2/3 cup butter, melted
3 cups zucchini or yellow squash, grated
1 cup carrot, grated
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup onion, grated
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste


Mix together zucchini or squash, carrots, onion, soup, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Fold together stuffing and melted butter, add to zucchini mixture. Place in a greased casserole, top with remaining stuffing mixture. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes. Serves 10.


Substitutions/Variations:
*You may substitue the mayonnaise with plain yogurt or sour cream.
*We used soley yellow squash and white squash out of our garden in place of the zucchini. *You could use half zucchini and half spinach. *For a one dish dinner, you could add roasted or grilled chicken.
