Zucchini Herb Casserole image

I've been making this casserole for almost 20 years and it's always a hit. Even my meat-eater husband likes it. Serve with a crusty French bread or soft breadsticks. Leftovers are great in an omelet the next day.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

⅓ cup uncooked long grain white rice
⅔ cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 ½ pounds zucchini, cubed
1 cup sliced green onions
1 clove garlic, minced
1 ¼ teaspoons garlic salt
½ teaspoon basil
½ teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 ½ cups seeded, chopped tomatoes
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Combine the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, until rice is tender.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a shallow 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the zucchini, green onions, and garlic 5 minutes, or until tender. Season with garlic salt, basil, paprika, and oregano. Mix in the cooked rice, tomatoes, and 1 cup cheese. Continue to cook and stir until heated through. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake uncovered 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

This casserole was easy to make and very tasty. I used ground turkey instead of beef and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.
