Zucchini Pizza Casserole

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. 2

   Spread the shredded zucchini on a clean kitchen towel and let sit for 30 minutes, then squeeze out the excess moisture. Combine with the eggs, parmesan, and 1/2 cup of the cheddar in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Press the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch (or 3-quart) baking dish and bake for about 25 minutes.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until the meat is browned. Drain, then stir in the marinara sauce.

5. 5

   Pour the meat sauce over the baked zucchini crust. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and top with chopped peppers and jalapeños if desired. Bake another 20 minutes, until heated through.
