Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchinis, chopped
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the veggies are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped zucchini to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
- In a big bowl, combine the sautéed veggies with the stuffing mix and vegetable broth. If you’re using cheese, add it in now for that melty goodness.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes to get that golden-brown top.
