Zucchini and Rice Casserole

We got so much fresh zucchini and summer squash from family and friends that I had a whole drawer full in the fridge and while I knew I'd make up a few batches of our favorite squash casserole recipe and a few loaves of zucchini bread, I also new we needed a few new recipes to try.

I  finally settled on trying a squash casserole with rice and cheese since those types of dishes tend to go over well in this house and  with just a few small tweaks we eagerly dug into our new zucchini and rice casserole.


My husband claims this was his new favorite recipe!

Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:
8 or so cups of sliced zucchini and summer squash
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons Italian seasonings
1 Tablespoon dried onion flakes
1/4 cup Pepperidge Farm Corn Bread Classic Stuffing mix
Salt and Pepper to taste

Bring zucchini and squash to a boil in a large covered pot then simmer for 20 or so minutes until tender.  Drain.


In a large bowl combine cooked squash with all other ingredients mixing well to combine.


Spread into a greased 13 x 9  baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until cheeses begin to brown and the sauce begins to bubble.


Serve while it's nice and hot!

  1. A great sounding recipe for all that heartily-growing squash so many people have at this time of year - although I admit the one time I tried to grow it, I only got squash blossoms. Maybe a lack of bees? I'll keep this recipe to hand, however...

    1. Yeah I can not grow it either... I did get some small baby squash the one time I tried to grow it but they never made it to picking and I don't know what happened to them.

    1. It would make a wonderful main dish but my boys and husband believe every meal must have meat. LOL.
