Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
- Grate about three medium zucchinis and sprinkle with salt. Let sit in a colander for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
- After 10 minutes, squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel.
- In a mixing bowl, combine drained zucchini with two beaten eggs, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Press the zucchini mixture into the bottom of the casserole dish and bake for 20 minutes until set and lightly golden.
- While baking, cook 1 pound of ground beef with one chopped onion in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until browned and tender.
- Stir in 1 cup of pizza sauce, diced green bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Layer the beef mixture evenly over the baked zucchini crust.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
- Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
