Hands on time: 20 minutes  Total time: 1 hour  Serves: 6

Ingredients:

    4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) unsalted butter
    2 cups herb stuffing mix, such as Pepperidge Farm Herbed Seasoned Stuffing
    1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided
    2 cups grated zucchini
    2 cups grated yellow squash
    1 cup grated carrots
    1 small onion, chopped
    1 cup sour cream
    Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in 2-quart microwave-safe baking dish. Stir in the stuffing mix and 1/3 cup of the grated cheese. Reserve 1/2 cup of the stuffing mixture for the topping.
In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, yellow squash, carrots and onion. Stir in the sour cream and remaining cheese. Pour into the baking dish over the stuffing mixture; spread evenly. Sprinkle with the reserved stuffing mixture and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until bubbly and lightly browned.

Notes:

To save time, grate the vegetables in a food processor.

A dash of hot sauce on the vegetables adds a little extra zip.
