Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups diced zucchini
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 ounces evaporated milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Saute zucchini, onion, and garlic in melted butter in a large skillet 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender; remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle flour and salt over sauteed vegetables, tossing gently to combine. Stir in evaporated milk, sour cream, and cheese.
  • Spoon zucchini mixture into a 1 quart casserole dish. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until cheese melts and it is hot and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the zucchini and potatoes in batches. This will prevent them from steaming and becoming soggy.
  • If you don't have a large skillet or griddle, you can also cook the zucchini and potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  • Season the zucchini and potatoes generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to bring out their natural flavors.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Gruyère are all good options.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The potatoes and zucchini should be tender, but still have a little bit of bite to them.

Conclusion:

Cheesy potato zucchini casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes and zucchini. The creamy cheese sauce and crispy breadcrumb topping make this casserole a real crowd-pleaser.
