Summer squash / zucchini

[Joanna]

I have a couple recipies for squash/zucchini; stir fried, grilled, zucchini cake/bread, and chicken primavera casserole...  but we've had them all several times.  Does anyone on here have a favorite recipe that they'd share to help give us a little variety?  I'd trade you some squash for it

I've made zuchinni like fried green tomatoes before, it's pretty good that way.

My daughter-in-law cooks it with a small amount of water and beef boullion cubes.  It's good that way too.

When I was in the salon - Helen Hinkle used to bring me a small casserole made with zuchinni and chicken stovetop  stuffing mix -- It was delish!!  I could hardly wait for night so I could go home and heat it up.
Yesterday I was searching for a recipe for pickled okra and stumbled across a web site that is awesome... www.Zaar's/recipes
I will go in there and see if I can find something.

I have to get ready to go to work --- so hope you can fine something.  I just typed in the kind of  recipe that I wanted, and it came up.  Hope it helps you.

Joanna, we like this one:

ZUCCHINI & GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE   

1 lb. ground beef
1 c. chopped celery
2 c. sliced zucchini
Salt & pepper
1 (8 oz.) can tomatoes, cut up
3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. sugar
1 tbsp. flour
3 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

Brown beef and celery in skillet, remove with slotted spoon and set aside. Saute zucchini in pan drippings until lightly browned; remove with slotted spoon.
In greased 1 1/2 quart casserole alternate layers of beef mixture and zucchini. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Stir together tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce. flour and sugar; pour over casserole. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes or until bubbly.

One of our favorites is the one that has stuffing on top. If you don't already have it, I'll post it.

Thanks everyone.  I've written them all down and will try them as I am inspired.
Bonnie, I think I'll try that casserole tonight
Diane, I have seen several recipes on the internet that have or are stuffing, but if you have a recipe that you know works, I'd rather have that one.

Summer squash casserole        350 oven    9x13 baking pan

2 lbs young yellow squash, or zucchini or some of each
1/4c. melted butter
1 8oz. package herb stuffing mix
1 cup shredded carrot
1 can  condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 cup sour cream
1 med. onion, minced
black pepper to taste

Slice and quarter squash into chunks. Cook in some water until barely tender, drain well. Mix the soup and sour cream together.    In another large bowl combine the cooked squash, shredded carrots, then fold in the sour cream and soup mixture. 
Mix the melted butter in with the stuffing mix and cover the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with some of the stuffing.
Pour the squash mixture over the stuffing, then layer the rest of the stuffing on top.
Bake at 350 for about 45 min or until hot. Serves 12
This can be easily halved or placed in smaller baking dishes to share.
I often take this to picnics and things.

My!  That does sound delicious!  Bet it would go well with parmesan chicken I'm planning to bake tonight...
