Cheesy Zuccnini Casserole
Prep time - 15 minutes
Cook time - 1 hour
Servings - 4
INGREDIENTS
4 slices bread, cubed
1/4 cup melted butter
2 cups zucchini, cubed
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees (175 degrees C)
2. Place bread cubes in a medium bowl and pour melted butter over the top. Add zucchini, onion, egg and garlic salt. Mix well. Transfer the mixture into 9x13 baking dish and top with cheese
3. Cover and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover the dish and bake for another 30 minutes.
These are the changes I made in the recipe. I placed the bread cubes in a bowl and poured the butter on the top. I put this on a cookie sheet in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 12 minutes, turning every 5 minutes until browned. While that is baking, brown 1# ground meat to make this a complete meal. Add the toasted bread cubes and meat to the other ingredients including the cheese and mix well. Put in a 8x8 baking dish becauses the 9x13 pan is too big and the casserole is very thin. The same baking instructions remain the unchanged. I may try it with gluten free bread next time.
