Ingredients

• 4 cups (sliced, about 4 medium squash) Yellow squash
• 1 cup (diced, about 1 medium onion) Onion
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Cornbread stuffing mix
• 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Spread half of the stuffing mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Layer the squash mixture over the top of the stuffing, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining stuffing mix over the squash layer, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
