Grandma Harvey's Zucchini Stuffing Casserole

4 med. zucchini, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 pound ground beef
1/2 c. chopped onion
4 tbsp. butter
2 1/4 c. herbed stuffing cubes
1 can cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup
1 c. sour cream

Cook zucchini in a little boiling water until tender and it appears almost opaque. Drain. Remove from heat.

In a large fry pan brown your ground beef and chopped onion. Drain the ground beef and place it back in the pan over medium heat. Add one can of either mushroom or chicken soup and 1 cup sour cream. Stir until the soup becomes a liquid and it is well mixed in with the meat. Remove from the heat. Gently add one cup dressing mix and the cooked and drained zucchini. Mix well. Pour mixture into your 1 1/2 quart casserole.

Melt butter, add rest of stuffing. Toss gently to coat with butter and sprinkle over top of casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. 6 to 8 servings.
