All of my family loves vegetables, and in the summer when squash is plentiful, I serve this dish frequently. It is truly my husband's favorite and can serve as a complete dinner for him.

1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
1/2 cup uncooked instant rice
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 medium yellow summer squash, thinly sliced
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Drain tomatoes, reserving 1/4 cup juice; set aside. In a greased 13x9-in. baking dish, layer the zucchini, onion and rice; dot with 1 tablespoon butter. Top with squash and tomatoes.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic salt, pepper and reserved juice; pour over tomatoes. Dot with remaining butter.
Cover and bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until rice is tender. Uncover; sprinkle with cheeses. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with a slotted spoon.

Very good! I did not have stewed tomatoes so just used canned whole tomatoes. This was a very tasty dish. I also omitted the salt cause who needs more salt?! :)

I have searched for over a year for this recipe. I found it in the magazine then lost the magazine. Great for garden bounty of tomatoes, yellow and zuchinni squash
