If you're looking for a hearty and flavorful dish to feed your family, this beef and zucchini casserole is the perfect choice. This dish is packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making it a healthy and satisfying option for any meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until it is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat from the pan and set the beef aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the sliced zucchini, onion, and garlic until they are tender. Add the can of diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes.
In a large casserole dish, layer the beef and zucchini mixture with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used up. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once the casserole is done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish pairs well with a side salad or some crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy!
