Getting Squashed

How productive. Summer squash. It's time to use up those wondrous babies of the garden. An interjection of my opinion here....please pick your squash before it is some mammoth alien thing. I love when people share with me, but please. Those monsters aren't the best way to use up the squash. Pick 'em young people!
Here are a few of my favorite recipes.
  Zucchini Casserole.
(Works great with yellow squash also.
2 c. stuffing crumbs
1/3 c melted butter
3 c. Zucchini
1/2 medium onion
1 c. shredded carrots
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 c. sour cream
  Sauté' zucchini and onion. MIx stuffing and butter together. Place 1/2 stuffing in casserole. Mix together zucchini, onion, carrots, soup and sour cream. Place over stuffing crumbs. Top with remaining crumbs. Bake 350* 30 minutes.
