1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup sliced zucchini
1 cup sliced yellow squash
3 scallions, sliced
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (15.25 ounce) can Southwest-style corn with poblano and red peppers, drained
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®), drained
1 cup chopped cooked chicken

1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 (6 ounce) package Mexican-style cornbread mix (such as Martha White®)

Tips:

  • For the Cornbread Topping: - To achieve a moist and flavorful cornbread topping, ensure your oven is preheated to 400°F (200°C) before baking. - Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for a tangy and tender cornbread. If buttermilk is unavailable, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - For a crispy cornbread topping, use a cast-iron skillet to bake it.
  • For the Squash Filling: - To enhance the flavor of the squash filling, roast the butternut squash beforehand. Roasting intensifies the natural sweetness and nuttiness of the squash. - Feel free to add other vegetables to the squash filling, such as diced bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms. - Season the squash filling generously with herbs and spices. A blend of thyme, sage, paprika, and garlic powder works well.
  • For Assembly: - Layer the squash filling and cornbread topping in a casserole dish, ensuring the cornbread mixture evenly covers the squash. - Before baking, top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese for a golden and gooey crust.

Conclusion:

This cornbread-squash casserole is a delightful combination of sweet, savory, and comforting flavors. With its tender butternut squash filling, moist cornbread topping, and cheesy crust, it's a perfect dish for a cozy fall or winter meal. The recipe is also versatile, allowing you to customize the ingredients and flavors to your liking. Whether served as a main course or a side dish, this casserole is sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy!
