8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded


3 chicken bouillon cubes


1/2 tsp garlic powder


1 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon pepper


1/2 teaspoon thyme


1 tablespoon parsley (chopped





Place zucchini and yellow squash in a large saucepan and add water to cover. Cook on med low heat just til tender, remove from heat. Drain squash, reserve one cup water for casserole. On med low temp place all the butter in large saucepan and saut茅 the onions until very soft, add salt, pepper, thyme, parsley, bouillon cubes and garlic to onions, stir. Add drained squash and 2/3 of the cheese, stir. Add crumbled cornbread and reserved cup of water; mix well. Place mixture in 13';x11'; baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray, sprinkle on the rest of the cheese. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 50 - 60 minutes, uncovering for last 20 min.
