Introduction

This irresistible zucchini casserole with stuffing mix is the ultimate comfort food for family dinners and potlucks.”

I still remember the first time I had this Zucchini Casserole with Stuffing Mix—it was at my neighbor’s summer potluck, and I honestly wasn’t expecting much. But one bite in, and I was hooked. The zucchini was tender but not mushy, the stuffing on top had this beautiful golden crunch, and the creamy filling tied everything together like a warm hug in food form.

This dish is one of those recipes you’ll make over and over again. It’s perfect for using up fresh zucchini from the garden (or the farmer’s market haul you couldn’t resist). And the best part? It’s easy enough for a cozy weeknight dinner but also crowd-pleasing enough for holidays, family reunions, and yes—those competitive potlucks where you secretly want to win “best dish.”
