Zucchini Casserole

Posted Thu, 06/05/03

Since we should be inundated with zucchini from our garden later this summer, I've been looking around for recipes using the vegetable. Zucchini Bread is a good standby, but I want to prepare the zucchini in a main dish somehow. Little did I realize, a recipe was waiting in my own work space.

 

A few weeks ago I mentioned the college cookbook coming to the fore, but last night I spent a little time really looking through it. Lo and behold I found a recipe for Zucchini Casserole (page 238) from Norma Jean Martinek, who works in Student Services at SCC.

 

The dish is simple and quick. It has the ear-markings of a wonderful main meal (or even a side dish):

 

Zucchini Casserole

6 C zucchini, sliced

1/4 C onion, roughly chopped

1 can (10.75 ounces) cream of chicken soup

1 C sour cream

1 C shredded carrots

1/2 C margarine or butter

8 oz. package herb dressing

 

In a skillet, cook the zucchini and onions for five minutes; drain. Fold in the chicken soup, sour cream and carrots. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the butter with prepared herb dressing. Spread half the dressing on the bottom of a casserole dish, and then add the zucchini mixture. Place the remaining dressing on top. Bake at 350-degrees F for thirty minutes. Serve.

It will make a delicious yet cool main meal during the summer months. I definitely plan to utilize our garden zucchini.
