Summertime Zucchini & Tomato Casserole image

This recipe originally came from the cookbook "What's for Dinner?". I've made some changes based on what my family enjoys. This is my FAVORITE way to have zucchini. This is delicious as a side for grilled chicken or fish and is also terrific just by itself.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover zucchini. I had some zucchini that was starting to go bad and this casserole was the perfect way to use it up.
