Zucchini Pizza
Zucchini is one of those vegetables that anyone can grow and if you try to, you always get WAY more than you need! Mine has started producing its overabundance, so I am looking for ways to use it up. Last year I came across this great zucchini pizza recipe. It is a good way to get your kids to eat zucchini, my kids LOVE it!
Ingredients:
4 cups shredded peeled zucchini, drained and squeezed dry
2 cups cooked rice
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1-1/2 cups prepared spaghetti sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
Directions: In a bowl, combine zucchini, rice, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and eggs until well blended. Press mixture into a greased 15-in. x 11-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is set and lightly browned. Meanwhile, brown ground beef and onion; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce, oregano and salt. Mix well. Spoon beef mixture over zucchini crust. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Hope you like it as much as my kids do! Enjoy!
