How to Make Zucchini Pizza Casserole
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grate 3 medium zucchini (about 3 cups) and place in a colander.
- Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini using your hands or a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Add the squeezed zucchini and mix well.
- Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
- Press the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown 1 lb ground beef with 1/2 cup chopped onion until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 (24 ounce) jar of your favorite tomato sauce.
- Spread the meat sauce evenly over the zucchini layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese over the sauce.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper.
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
