ZUCCHINI, TOMATO & CHEESE CASSEROLE



Zucchini, Tomato & Cheese Casserole image

Got some zucchini that you need to use? This is the dish for you. I originally saw this recipe in Southern Living Magazine and then couldn't find the magazine when I wanted to cook it. I remembered basically what the ingredients were, just not the amounts. With some experimentation, I created a dish that tastes pretty delish! It's one of those dishes that makes people go back for seconds. Frying the zucchini before adding it to the casserole, helps to seal the moisture inside.
