Cheesy Zucchini Casserole Recipe

Last week I shared a recipe for zucchini pie. A tasty dessert made from vegetables. Now I’m sharing my Cheesy Zucchini Casserole Recipe.

In case you haven’t guessed it, our zucchini is doing great and I’m making a zucchini based dish several times a week 🙂 Yummy!!!

Easy cheesy zucchini casserole recipe that is sure to please!

I’m a huge fan of trying new recipes along with creating my own. However, sometimes there is nothing like a tried and true recipe from childhood. I looked forward to this casserole every year when the zucchini began ripening and it seems that my son shares my opinion of it. (If the amount he ate last night accounts for anything!)

Made from scratch, this meal is typically prepped and in the oven within 30 minutes, which is a win for me and I have time to wash the dishes while it’s baking. 🙂

To properly do the layers, you will need to spread stuff pretty thin. To be honest, many times I’m in a big fat hurry and just layer zucchini on the bottom, dump everything else in and then another layer of zucchini on the top covered in cheese.

The casserole doesn’t stay together as nicely that way, but in our family as long as the food tastes good, we don’t care about looks. 🙂 So double layer or not, it’s your choice.
