1 tablespoon butter

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Chop the squash and onion and shred the carrot.

Use a 3 qt pot and just cover the squash, onion and carrot with water and salt.
Bring to a boil and let cook until done but still firm. Use a fork or knife to check for firmness of the squash. Approx 15 mins.

While these vegetables are cooking, in another dish mix the condensed soup, sour cream, and cheese.

Then in a small non stick pan, just toast the stuffing mix in the butter.

When your vegetables are done, drain then pour the soup mix in the pot and mix well with the vegetables. I usually heat it one more time and then salt and pepper to taste.

Now I usually sprinkle some of the stuffing mix in the bottom of the dish, but I'm southern and like to have a top and bottom crunch. Whichever you prefer will work.

Pour your vegetable mixture into the baking dish, making sure you have sprayed it first, and top with the toasted stuffing mix.

Bake until it begins to bubble on top and gets to be a nice golden brown. You can safely set your timer for 30 minutes then check it. Adjust time according to your personal taste in color.
