ZUCCHINI CARROT CASSEROLE



Zucchini Carrot Casserole image

While trying to figure out what the heck to do with a 9 pound zucchini one day a couple of years ago, I discovered this recipe in my Company's Coming Vegetables cookbook. The title is somewhat uninspired and I actually called it something else so people would eat it! Try using Cheddar cheese soup instead of mushroom soup or just adding shredded Cheddar for a cheesy vegetable casserole.

This recipe was tweaked by me, but was given to my mother years ago from our neighbor. You can never have enough zucchini recipes. The original recipe had no seasonings, nor did she par cook the carrots or add cheese. The bones of the recipe is Alfa's, but the flavor added is mine. LOL Enjoy!

ZUCCHINI AND CARROT CASSEROLE



Zucchini and Carrot Casserole image

This is one of my all-time favorite casseroles. I haven't posted it before because I assumed someone would have already posted it. I was looking for something else and came across a similar recipe, but not the same. So I decided to post this before it gets lost. Addendum: I hadn't made this in awhile until tonight. Because I am trying to lose weight I cooked the vegetables in a covered pan sprayed with PAM and omitted the butter. It turned out just fine. I also added some cubed cooked chicken to make this more of a complete dish. So that is another option with this very versatile casserole.
