Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the sliced squash, diced onion, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Boil for 5-7 minutes or until the squash is just tender, then drain well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked squash and onion with cream of chicken soup, sour cream, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine the cornbread stuffing mix with the chicken broth and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until the stuffing mix is well moistened.
Spread half of the stuffing mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer the squash mixture over the top of the stuffing, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining stuffing mix over the squash layer, spreading it evenly.
Top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the stuffing top is golden and crisp, and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
