Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (sliced) yellow squash
- 1 cup (diced) onion
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 cups (dry) cornbread stuffing mix
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1.5 cups sour cream
- 1 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 2 large (beaten) eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced yellow squash and diced onion, and sauté for 6-8 minutes until they are soft and slightly translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornbread stuffing mix and vegetable broth. Stir until the stuffing mix is moistened.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and beaten eggs. Add the salt, black pepper, and paprika, and mix until smooth.
Fold the cooked squash mixture into the soup and sour cream mixture until evenly combined.
Pour the combined mixture into the bowl with the cornbread stuffing mix and gently stir until everything is well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Optionally, sprinkle the top with chopped parsley before serving as a garnish.
