Recipes From The Big Blue Binder: Zucchini Casserole I can remember going to visit my sister at her home in Windsor, Ontario about 30 years ago and she had made the most delicious casserole you could ever want to eat.

It had layers of stuffing on the bottom and the top, and in the middle was a mix of wilted zucchini, onions and carrots, with a mix of cream soup and sour cream.
