Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups shredded zucchini
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound 85% lean ground beef
½ white onion, chopped
1 cup pizza sauce
1 ounce pepperoni slices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 10x13-inch baking dish.
  • Place shredded zucchini in a colander and sprinkle salt on top. Press down to drain as much water as possible. Let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add eggs, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to the zucchini. Mix well. Press mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Mix pizza sauce with cooked beef and spoon over zucchini mixture in the baking pan.
  • Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over the meat. Top with pepperoni slices.
  • Return baking dish to the hot oven and bake until mozzarella cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes more.
