I have found the ultimate zucchini casserole. It is a meal in its self, and it is really easy to do. So, without further ado……
My Favorite Zucchini Casserole (It makes a lot, so invite all of your zucchini lovin’ friends over.)
Cut 2 medium or 1 large zucchini into chunks, put it in a bowl and sprinkle some salt over it while you fix the sauce.
For the sauce: cut up 1 onion, some pepper( green sweet or hot depending on how spicy you like it) and a few cloves of garlic. Saute these in some butter or olive oil till tender. Add a can of diced tomatoes (or canned spaghetti sauce) to the onions and peppers and garlic and let it simmer for about 15 minutes to get thickened. If you did not use canned sauce, you mnight want to add some Italian seasonings to give it some zing.While that is thickening, drain the water off of the zucchini and put it in a casserole dish, sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste. When the sauce is thickened a bit pour it over the zucchini and then put some grated cheese (mozzerella, or cheddar either one will work) . Place the casserole in a 350 degree F oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Cool a bit so it won’t burn off the roof of your mouth and then enjoy!
Hope you like it! I made the sauce today out of fresh tomatoes and peppers from the garden, Yummy!
