Enjoy a delicious summer casserole with yellow squash and zucchini straight from your garden. This easy Crock Pot Squash Casserole is a perfect side dish for any summer gathering.
Layer the sliced yellow and zucchini squash in the bottom of a crock pot. Add the diced bell pepper, chopped onion, sliced celery and minced garlic. Toss the vegetables together. Melt ½ cup of butter in a bowl and add the stuffing mix.
Toss to combine. Use a fork to fluff the stuffing mix as you mix it with the butter. Remove one cup of the stuffing mix and set aside for later. Add the soup, shredded cheese, salt and pepper. Stir with a large wooden spoon.
Add the stuffing mix to the crock pot and stir well. Save the remaining cup to used as a topping before serving. Place the lid on the slow cooker. Slow cook on high for 3 hours or low for 4 to 5 hours or until the vegetables are cooked tender.
Sprinkle the top of the casserole with the remaining one cup of stuffing mix and serve it right from the slow cooker. Or you can do as I have done and transfer the hot casserole to a casserole baking dish for a prettier presentation.
