Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pound(s) yellow squash, cut into slices
1 pound(s) zucchini, cut into slices
1 - small sweet onion, chopped
1 cup(s) grated carrots
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken, if you prefer)
1 - 8 oz container sour cream
1 to 2 - 8 oz can sliced water chestnuts, drained (you could use just 1 can; i prefer 2)
1 - 8 oz package herb-seasoned stuffing
1/2 cup(s) butter, melted
- salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Place squash, suchinni, onion and about 2 tsp salt in pan with water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook 5 minutes. Drain well.
  • Stir together carrots, soup, sour cream and water chestnuts. Add additional salt to taste (about 1/2 tsp) in large bowl. Gently fold the cooked squash into the mixture.
  • Stir together the stuffing and melted butter. Spoon half of the stuffing into a lightly greased 13x9 baking dish. Spoon squash mixture over the stuffing; top with remaining stuffing.
  • Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. May need to cover with aluminum foil after the first 20 minutes of cooking to avoid over-browning. Let stand about 10 minutes before serving.
