ZUCCHINI PIZZA CASSEROLE | ZUCCHINI RECIPE

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative, while grana padano is a more affordable cheese.

pizza sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Homemade sauce can be fresher and cheaper than store-bought.

Preheat the oven.

Shred the zucchini and place it in a bowl. Add salt and let it sit to release moisture.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Italian seasoning, dried onion, garlic powder, and cheddar jack cheese.

Combine the shredded zucchini with the egg mixture and mix well.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the ground meat. Cook until browned.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, parsley, oregano, pizza sauce, and tomato paste to the meat. Stir to combine and let simmer for a few minutes.

Layer the meat sauce in a baking dish, followed by the zucchini mixture on top.

Bake in the preheated oven until set and golden brown.
