Zucchini Casserole
"This is a rich and creamy casserole. We serve it every Christmas eve as it is a great side with beef, ham, or turkey. Real comfort food and good year round. I don't know where this recipe originated but I got it from my mother more than 25 years ago. One important tip is to drain the zucchini well otherwise your casserole will be too watery."

Made for Fall 09 PAC Premie Adoptions. I made this recipe 2 times. The first time I followed the recipe as given, was good, but needed seasoning and my picky eater adult grandson wouldn't even touch it because it had vegetables in it. The second time I folded the zucchini mixture into the breadcrumb mixture, added salt, pepper and a small amount of Louisanne Sauce to it. When served the second time without even a negative comment Grandson gobbled it up and had seconds! I will be adding this to our Holiday meals as made the second time. Thank you for this recipe. -
We all liked this casserole. I used onion powder instead of chopped up onion for DD preferences. We used a combo of zucchini and yellow crookneck squash. Made for PAC Fall 2009.
