Holy Zucchini Batman!!!

 If you're like most of us, right now you are inundated with squash! Some from your own garden and plenty more from neighbors and family that were maybe a bit over-zealous with their planting this year! Be grateful for the bounty! There are bazillions of ways to use it!
 Tonight I am doing a Zucchini  and Rice Casserole.
 Spray your dish w/non-stick spray and then spread brown rice evenly.
 Slice zucchini slices 1/2" thick.
  Lay slices over rice.
 Layer with chopped tomatoes and onions, garlic, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
Pour tomato sauce and water over everything.
Cover dish tightly with foil. Bake @ 325 for 60 min. Remove foil, top w/ cheese. Bake another 10 minutes.






And the finished product is delicious! I really enjoyed the textures and the way all the flavors worked together. Next time I will add ground beef.
 Looking forward to many more zucchini recipes this week! Stay tuned!
