Southern Squash Casserole Recipe

Southern Squash Casserole Recipe

  • 6 cups thinly sliced yellow squash
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 cup sliced fresh brown or white mushrooms
  • 1 (8 ounce) container light dairy sour cream
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend
  • 1 dash ground red pepper
  • 3 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 4 cups crumbled cornbread
  • 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Place the squash, carrots, onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms in a pan. Pour in enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and drain well using a sieve or colander.
  3. Mix the sour cream, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, eggs, Italian seasoning, and red pepper together in a large bowl. Toss the sour cream mixture with the chicken, cornbread, and 2 cups Cheddar cheese until evenly blended. Stir in the vegetable mixture. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Bake in preheated oven until the center sets, about 50 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of Cheddar cheese. Bake until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.
