Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 2 lbs) yellow squash
• 1 medium onion
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Wash and thinly slice the yellow squash into 1/4-inch rounds. Dice the onion into small pieces.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the sliced yellow squash and diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until the squash is tender but not mushy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Fold the cooked squash and onions into the soup mixture, gently tossing until evenly coated.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the chicken broth, stirring until the stuffing absorbs the liquid and becomes slightly softened.

Step 7

Spread half of the stuffing mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spoon the squash mixture evenly over the stuffing layer. Sprinkle the remaining stuffing mixture on top.

Step 8

Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and drizzle over the top layer of stuffing for added flavor and crispness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Yellow Squash and Stuffing Casserole!
