Tips:
- Choose firm, unblemished zucchini: Overripe or bruised zucchini will make the casserole mushy.
- Use fresh bread crumbs: Stale bread crumbs will make the casserole dry. If you don't have fresh bread crumbs, you can make your own by toasting and then grinding up slices of bread.
- Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked zucchini will be mushy and watery.
- Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses will give the casserole a more complex flavor. You can use mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, or any other type of cheese that you like.
- Bake the casserole until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Conclusion:
Zucchini and stuffing casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With its combination of fresh zucchini, savory stuffing, and melted cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
