Moms Zucchini Casserole Recipes

MOM'S ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a large casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large pot boil salted water and add zucchini. Cook for 5-7 minutes. Drain in a colander in the sink until needed.
• In a large skillet melt butter. Add onions and carrots. Saute until tender. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
• In a seperate bowl remove 1 1/4 cups of the stuffing mixture and set aside remainder. In a large bowl combine mushroom soup, sour cream and 1 1/4 cup of the stuffing mixture. Add onion mixture and stir until blended. Add zucchini and stir gently until coated. Dump into your prepared dish.
• In a medium sized skillet melt butter and add remaining stuffing mixture. Saute until browned. Spread over top of the casserole. Bake for 35-40 minutes.

MOM'S ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Grease and flour two 8 x 4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
• Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans.
• Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool.

LIGHTER ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400F.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan. Sauté the onion in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for another 30 to 60 seconds, until the garlic is fragrant.
• Cut each tomato into 3 to 5 pieces and add to the oil, along with the herbs, salt, and pepper.
• Cook over medium heat until the liquid is mostly gone (but not dry), stirring occasionally-you should end up without about 1 cup of the mixture. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the zucchini into slices approximately 1/4 inch thick. These can be either round slices, or lengthwise. Take the largest slices and line the bottom of a 9x9-inch or 8x8-inch pan, or a similarly-sized round pan.
• Spread about one-fourth of the tomatoes on top of the zucchini, followed by one-fourth of the cheese.
• Continue layering the sauce, zucchini, and cheese. It should come out to four even layers. Hold off on the final layer of cheese.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Top with the rest of the cheese, and lower the temperature to 375F. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown.
