Blue Ribbon Recipe by

This is a very easy recipe to make, but so delicious! I have brought this to potlucks and always come home with an empty dish and many requests for the recipe. Even people that aren't a fan of zucchini have liked it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We've tried many types of zucchini casserole, but Diane's is unique in that she adds browned sausage. The sausage adds another layer of flavor to the creamy filling of this side dish. The crunchy cornbread topping has wonderful flavor from herbs and spices. This is a very hearty side dish and a great way to serve zucchini in the summer.
