How to Make Zucchini Courgette And Mushroom Casserole

  1. Peel 2 medium zucchini (if large) and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  2. Dice 1 medium onion.
  3. In a large pot, cook zucchini and onion in lightly salted boiling water until zucchini is tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. While the zucchini cooks, butter a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup of bread crumbs evenly over the bottom of the buttered dish.
  6. Drain the cooked zucchini and onion thoroughly.
  7. Add the drained zucchini and onion to the casserole dish on top of the bread crumbs.
  8. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Arrange 8 oz of sliced mushrooms over the zucchini mixture.
  10. Pour 1 1/2 cups of your favorite creamy soup (mushroom, cream of chicken, or vegetable) evenly over the mushrooms.
  11. Sprinkle 1 cup of grated cheese (cheddar, Gruyere, or a blend) over the top.
  12. Bake at 320°F (160°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
