Servings: 8
Equipment
- 1 8x8 pan
Ingredients
- 1 - 2 large zucchini cut into 1/4" slices lengthwise
- 1 lb ground beef lean, or half hamburger and half spicy ground sausage is best
- 1 packet taco seasoning or 2 tbsp if you make your own
- 1 c onion diced
- 2 c mozzarella cheese or mix of parmesan and mozzarella, shredded
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tsp oregano
- 1 c spaghetti sauce chunkier the better, can use tomato sauce but we like all the flavors in spaghetti sauce
- 1/4 tsp cayenne ground
Instructions
- Spray an 8x8 pan with non stick spray and preheat oven to 375 degrees
- On the stove cook ground beef and onions together until ground beef is no longer pink. Drain grease, then add spaghetti sauce and warm. Stir in taco seasoning packet and mix until meat is coated.
- Lay zucchini slices on bottom so it is covered, can slightly overlap.
- Spoon half of your meat mixture on top of your zucchini slices, then top with half your cheese.
- Lay a second and final layer of zucchini down so meat is covered, followed by remaining meat and then cheese on the top. Can sprinkle green onions on top if desired.
- Put in oven for 35-40 minutes or until cheese is a light golden brown on top. (we put our 8x8 on a cookie sheet in case there was splatter)
- If you want pieces to stay in tact when serving allow pan to cool on cooling rack to thicken up and then serve when just barely warm to the touch at the bottom of the pan. Enjoy!
