This is one of those recipes from "back in the day" when my mom got her first microwave. The Illuminating Company used to have cooking classes back then that were actually quite good and Mom used to enjoy attending. As more families were buying microwaves for home use, they added classes to teach people how to use them. This is one of the recipes.
Since I'm always trying to save a few calories (without sacrificing too much of the taste, of course!) I made a few changes of my own that work for us. I cut the butter to 2 T. total and use it to saute the zucchini. I put all the stuffing in at once (so no topping) and use fat-free plain yogurt or 1% milk, instead of sour cream, and use FF cream of something soup. We think it tastes just fine.
My one year old grandson, Tommy, just had his first taste of it tonight and ate like a little piggy!

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cups sliced zucchini or yellow squash (some of each is nice)
3/4 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 T. butter
1 1/2 cups seasoned stuffing mix (I use a box of Stove Top)
1 10 oz. can cream of anything soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup seasoned stuffing mix (for topping)
Saute zucchini and onion in 2 T. butter. Stir in 1-1/2 cups stuffing mix. Combine soup and sour cream. Stir in mixture. Turn into greased 1 1/2 qt. casserole. Toss remaining stuffing mix with 2 T. melted butter and sprinkle over casserole. Microwave for 15 minutes until bubbling.
NOTES : I prefer to bake this in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes to brown.
