Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
  • Stir in the sliced zucchini, drained diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the zucchini to soften slightly.
  • Transfer the beef and zucchini mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. If desired, add breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to add extra veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms for more flavor and texture.
  • You can use low-fat cheese or skip the breadcrumbs for a lighter version.
