Cheesy Zucchini Cornbread Casserole is one of those recipes that feels like a warm hug after a long day. Growing up in the Midwest, comfort food has always held a special place in my heart. This dish combines the familiar flavors of cornbread with the freshness of zucchini, enriched with melty cheese. It’s perfect for potlucks, family dinners, or a cozy night in. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to use up that excess zucchini from your garden or the farmers’ market.
This casserole pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or steamed veggies to keep things light. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside grilled chicken or a savory roast. And don’t forget a dollop of sour cream or a splash of hot sauce for an extra kick of flavor!
