Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cup shredded zucchini
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Crust: Mix the shredded zucchini, salt, eggs, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased baking dish.

3. Cook the Filling: In a skillet, cook the ground beef and onion until browned. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the pizza sauce, bell pepper, mushrooms, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper.

4. Assemble the Casserole: Spread the cooked filling evenly over the zucchini crust.

5. Add the Topping: Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

6. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Choose the right zucchini: Select medium-sized zucchini with a firm texture for the best results.

Drain the zucchini thoroughly: Salting the shredded zucchini and allowing it to drain helps remove excess moisture, preventing a soggy crust.

Enhance the flavor: Experiment with additional herbs and spices, such as Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes, to customize the taste to your liking.

Vegetarian option: For a meatless version, substitute the ground beef with your favorite plant-based crumbles or sautéed mushrooms.
