Ingredients
½lb.ground beef
½onion, finely diced
1c.Bisquick(see Notes below)
½c.shredded Parmesan cheese
4eggs
¼c.canola oil
1tsp.parsley
½tsp.salt
½tsp.basil
¼tsp.garlic powder
¼tsp.black pepper
3 ½c.shredded zucchini, drained(see Notes below)
tomatoes, sliced thin
Instructions
Brown ground beef and onion.
Mix all ingredients except zucchini and tomatoes in a bowl.
Stir in zucchini and pour into a greased 2 ½ to 3 quart baking dish.
Top with tomatoes. (This knife is my absolute favorite for slicing tomatoes! It cuts through them like their butter.)
Bake at 350° for 40 to 50 minutes or until center is set and top is lightly browned.
Make sure zucchini is drained well. Either put it in a colander or sieve, then squish out as much excess moisture as possible. If you don’t do this, your casserole will not set up!
How you long you need to bake this depends on how deep your baking dish is. My dish is fairly small and makes a thick casserole, so I need to bake it at least 50 minutes. However if your dish is more shallow, you will need to reduce the baking time.
