Listed in: Fruit and Vegetable / Zucchini Ingredients

1½ pounds Zucchini, cut in ½ inch slices (5½ cups)
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped (½ cup)
1½ cups cooked rice
1 can (10½ oz.) cream of mushroom soup
1 teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups cream style cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz.)

In a saucepan, cook the Zucchini in boiling salted water about 3-4 minutes or until crisp & tender. Drain. In a skillet, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion. Drain off the excess fat. Stir in the cooked rice, soup, oregano, salt, & garlic powder. In a 12 x 7½ in baking dish arrange half of the Zucchini. Top that with the ground beef mixture & then the cottage cheese. Arrange the remaining Zucchini over the cottage cheese. Bake at 350˚F for 75 minutes. Sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese, return it to the oven & bake for 2-3 minutes more.

This casserole can be made ahead. Cover with foil & refrigerate up to 24 hours. Uncover & bake as usual.
