Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch thick
5 - 6 slice bacon, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 clove garlic, chopped
1 tsp each, salt, pepper and italian seasoning
3 slice bread, cubed
4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
1 - 15 oz tomato sauce
Shredded mozzarella cheese for top

Steps:

  • 1. In a Dutch oven, cover zucchini slices with water and bring to a boil, cook 5 minutes or until just tender. Drain well.
  • 2. In a small skillet, brown bacon with onions and garlic.

Tips:

- Grating zucchini: Use a box grater with the large holes to get even, thin strips. This will help the zucchini cook evenly and quickly. - Salting the zucchini: Salting the zucchini draws out excess moisture, which helps prevent the casserole from becoming watery. Be sure to rinse the zucchini well before adding it to the casserole to remove the excess salt. - Using a combination of cheeses: Using a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella, adds depth of flavor to the casserole. - Adding vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as chopped onion, bell pepper, or corn. - Using a breadcrumb topping: A breadcrumb topping adds a crispy texture to the casserole. You can use plain breadcrumbs or season them with herbs or spices.

Conclusion:

Zucchini Delight is a delicious and easy-to-make casserole that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with zucchini, cheese, and breadcrumbs, and can be customized to your liking. With its simple ingredients and quick preparation time, Zucchini Delight is sure to become a family favorite.
