Squash Casserole Recipe

• 4 large yellow squash*, sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 8 cups)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Cream of Chicken Soup or Cream of Mushroom Soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1 (6 oz. pkg.) dry Herb Stuffing (chicken is best)
• 1 stick butter (1/2 cup), melted

Put sliced squash and water in medium sized saucepan. Cover. Bring to a boil on medium heat.

Reduce heat to low and let vegetables steam for about 10 minutes until they start to get tender.

Water should be evaporated.

Let sit in pan while you mix rest of ingredients.

In a mixing bowl stir together Cream of Chicken Soup, sour cream, and onion.

In another small mixing bowl add dry stuffing and stir in melted butter to coat stuffing well.

Reserve 1/2 cup buttered stuffing mix. Stir the rest of the buttered stuffing mix into the Cream of Chicken soup mixture.

Mix all ingredients together including the cooked squash, except the 1/2 cup reserved buttered stuffing mix and pour into a 9" x 13" casserole baking pan or dish.

Then sprinkle the reserved stuffing mix over top.

Bake in a preheated 350F. oven 30-35 minutes until casserole is bubbly and top is golden brown.

Carefully remove from oven and let sit 20 minutes or so to cool before serving.

*Can use summer or crooked neck yellow squash.
