Looking for what to do with all your garden zucchinis? Here is a great crustless pizza recipe you will love! And only 8 net carbs per serving!
Prep: 20 min.
Bake: 40 min.
Servings: 8
Ingredients:
- 4 cups shredded unpeeled zucchini
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 can (15 ounces) Italian tomato sauce
- 1 medium green or sweet red pepper, chopped
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Place zucchini in colander & sprinkle with salt. Let stand 10 minutes, then squeeze out moisture.
- Combine zucchini with eggs, Parmesan and half the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Press into a greased 13×9-in. or 3-qt. baking dish. Bake 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, breaking meat into crumbles; drain.
- Add tomato sauce; spoon over zucchini mixture.
- Sprinkle with remaining cheeses; add green pepper.
- Bake until heated through, about 20 minutes longer.
TIPS:
- Italian sausage or ground turkey sub well in this casserole.
- Make it vegetarian by skipping the meat and increasing the veggies. Mushrooms or finely chopped cauliflower (or a combination of the two) taste great.
- This packs up nicely for weekday lunches
Freeze option: Cool baked casserole; cover and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°. Unwrap casserole; reheat on a lower oven rack until heated through and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°.
