HELEN'S ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE



Helen's Zucchini Casserole image

This recipe will tempt those anti-zucchini eaters! I could eat a whole pan myself! Have had this recipe for 20 years. Can be made ahead & baked before serving.

Provided by KeyWee

Categories     Vegetable

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 medium zucchini (thinly sliced)
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 large fresh tomato (chopped)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1 teaspoon Italian spices
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large skillet.
  • Add zucchini, onion, tomato & garlic.
  • Cover & cook until desired tenderness, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Stir in tomato sauce & seasonings.
  • In a 13x9-inch baking dish, place a layer of the zucchini mixture, then top with shredded cheese.
  • Continue layers until pan is full, ending with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake uncovered, in a 350°F oven, for 25 minutes.
  • Top with shredded parmesan or Romano cheese, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, medium-sized zucchini for the best texture in your casserole.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the zucchini evenly. This will help it cook evenly in the casserole.
  • Don't overcrowd the casserole dish. If you're using a 9x13 inch dish, one layer of zucchini, mozzarella, and sauce is ideal.
  • Bake the casserole until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes around 30 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
