Zucchini Casserole
Ahh…comfort food. This zucchini casserole is one of those perfect year-round potluck side dishes that works for almost every occasion (see also: Cheesy Potluck Potatoes). While zucchini and summer squash are in abundance during the Summer months, this dish will seem equally at home as part of a Thanksgiving spread as it will on your picnic table for an outdoor barbecue. I love the textures in this dish – it’s creamy and hearty with a crunchy topping and it makes for a filling side dish to poultry, steak, burgers or fish. Not only is this zucchini casserole a crowd pleaser, it’s also super simple to make and rings in at less than 130 calories or only 3 Weight Watchers SmartPoints per serving on myWW Green, Blue or Purple.

Zucchini Casserole
Ingredients
- 3 ½ tablespoons light butter, divided (I use Land O'Lakes)
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4” slices
- 2 medium summer squash, yellow zucchini, sliced into 1/4” slices
- ½ cup diced onion
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 10.75 oz can of 98% fat free Cream of Mushroom Soup
- ½ cup fat free plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Stuffing Mix, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- In a large saute pan or skillet, bring 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted. Add the onion, zucchini, summer squash and carrots and saute for 3-4 minutes. Cover the pan and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until the zucchini and summer squash are tender.
- Remove the squash mixture from heat and stir in the cream of mushroom soup, yogurt, and 1 ¼ cups of the stuffing until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a 2 QT casserole dish (I used a 7x11 dish) and spread evenly.
- Melt the remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of butter in a medium bowl and combine with the remaining ¾ cup of stuffing mix. Sprinkle the stuffing across the top of the zucchini mixture in the casserole dish. Bake for about 30 minutes and serve warm.
