Squash Stuffing

Slow Cooker Squash Casserole is an easy recipe to make. If you like squash stuffing, you should try this.

This slow cooker squash casserole recipe has been adapted from my Country Zucchini Casserole recipe.

Simply combine all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and cook for eight hours. The final result is a delicious and creamy casserole that’s a perfect vegetarian entree or an
accompaniment to your favorite meat.

Cornbread Stuffing Mix Enhances the Flavor

Since the squash recipe calls for a box of cornbread stuffing mix, it’s loaded with flavor that really helps
to enhance this recipe and bring it to life. This recipe couldn’t get any easier.

Easy Recipe: Mix and Cook

I like this mix-and-cook easy squash recipe for two reasons:

1. I love squash.

2. It’s an easy recipe.

The squash recipe will seem dry when you put it into the crock pot, but don’t worry. The vegetables will
release liquid as they cook, and the casserole will become moist.

My Version of Patty Cakes Pantry’s Squash Casserole

Angie at Kitchen Southern Hospitality

I made this squash recipe adapted by Patty Cakes Pantry’s Country Zucchini Casserole with a few variations and was pleased with how it turned out.

The Kitchen Southern Hospitality blog recipes are often created with what’s on hand in the pantry, fridge, and/or freezer. When I decided to cook the casserole, I realized I was short on the following ingredients:

  • bell pepper
  • vegetable broth
  • cream of mushroom soup
  • sour cream
  • vegetarian cornbread stuffing mix

Shopping for the extra ingredients needed for the recipe didn’t take long – until I started looking for the vegetarian stuffing mix. Aisle after aisle, I searched. Finally, I decided on using a box of garlic and cheese croutons that I already had at home.

Mixing the ingredients together was simple to do, and I actually cooked my recipe for four hours in my Farberware electric pressure cooker on the slow cooker mode. That method doesn’t have a high or low option.

After the timer ended, I opened the lid and noticed the casserole looked very creamy, almost soupy. Not sure about the texture and wondering if it was done or not, I dished a little out for a taste. Hmmm. Quite tasty.

My oldest brother was visiting with my husband and me, and we had already eaten dinner. Therefore, I stored the casserole in the fridge.

The next day I put it in a glass dish and baked it for about thirty minutes in a 350-degree oven while I baked hamburgers. To my surprise, my brother asked, “Are those biscuits in that casserole?”

Caught off guard, I asked, “Biscuits?”

“Yes,” he said, “I tried some of it last night, and it tasted like it had biscuits in it. It was really good.”

“Oh! Those are croutons.”

“Well, it was good.”

My husband helped himself to the squash a couple of times and mentioned that it was very good. The slow cooker casserole was definitely a success.

Should you choose to make the recipe, whether you try Patty Cake Pantry’s version or mine, it’s bound to be good.

  1. I think your pressure cooker version was wet because of the vegetable broth. Try making it using a pot in pot technique. I bet it will come out perfect.
