Cajun Style Zucchini Casserole With Minced Meat And Bacon Recipes

ZUCCHINI AND BACON CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Fry bacon leaving just enough grease to saute zucchini & tomatoes.
• (I use a big roasting pan so I only use one pan).
• Cook zucchini and tomatoes to desired doneness.
• Crumble cooked bacon into large pieces & add to zucchini-tomato mixture.
• Top with cheese. Let stand to melt.
• Now it is up to you if you mix the cheese in or just leave topped.
• Great the next day too.

CAJUN-STYLE ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE WITH MINCED MEAT AND BACON

Steps:

• Fry the slices of bacon until crisp and then put them aside (put them in a paper towel if you want to loose some of the fat). If you're using whole cloves, add them now and let them fry for a bit.
• Cut the onions and pepper (pieces should be approximately 1-2cm by a few mm) and start frying them over low to moderate heat in the pan used for frying the bacon. Add the ground cloves (if you're using whole cloves they should already be in the pan).
• Cut the zucchini (pieces should be no more than about 1cm in any dimension) and garlic (very fine, but don't use a garlic press) and add them to the onions and pepper (it could be a good idea to cut the zucchini earlier, sprinkle it with salt and let it sweat for about half an hour). Turn up the heat a bit and continue frying until the onion and pepper is soft (the zucchini should not become mushy).
• Add the minced meat, bacon, molasses and worcester sauce and continue frying over moderate heat. In the mean time, cut the tomato (small pieces) and bacon. Adjust seasoning if desired (you should be able to taste the worcester sauce, and the mixture should be only slightly sweet).
• Once the minced meat is a greyish brown, add the tomato and bread (in small pieces). Prepare a greased oven-proof dish, preheat the oven to 175C and let the mixture simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated (the mixture should still be moist).
• Pour/spoon all of the mixture into the oven-proof dish, cover it with cheese and bake it at 175C for about 20 minutes (or until the cheese is a golden brown).
