I love how versatile this casserole is. You can add or subtract ingredients to your liking. I like to add a little bit of chopped ham or sausage to the casserole for extra protein.

This casserole is a great way to use up summer zucchini. I like to grow my own zucchini in my garden and this casserole is a great way to use up the excess.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I love this casserole! The zucchini is cooked perfectly and it's not mushy at all. The cheese and rice are also cooked perfectly and the casserole is very flavorful.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have leftover rice from takeout or from making a big batch of rice for a meal prep. This casserole is a great way to use it up and make a delicious meal.

I made this casserole last night and it was delicious! I used brown rice instead of white rice, and I added some chopped bell pepper and onion. It turned out great!

This casserole was a hit with my family! The zucchini and rice were cooked perfectly, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.
