Zucchini Pizza Casserole

Zucchini Pizza Casserole

• 4 cups shredded unpeeled zucchini
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 can (15 oz) Italian tomato sauce
• 1 red pepper, chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Place zucchini in colander, sprinkle with salt.  Let stand 10 minutes, then squeeze out moisture.

Combine zucchini with eggs, Parmesan and half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese.  Press into a 13 x 9 greased baking dish.  Bake 20 minutes.

Zucchini has been baked in oven and now ready to add rest of ingredients.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook the beef and onion (I added a some garlic too) over medium heat, crumbling beef, until meat is no longer pink, drain.  Add the tomato sauce.

Spoon over zucchini mixture.  Sprinkle with remaining cheeses and chopped pepper.

Bake another 20 minutes.

Happy eating. 🍴
