This casserole is a great way to use up leftover rice. I usually add some cooked rice to the casserole, and it gives it a nice texture and flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of zucchini, but this casserole changed my mind. The zucchini was grated so finely that it was almost unnoticeable, and the other ingredients really complemented its flavor.
