Zucchini Herb Casserole

Zucchini Herb Casserole

I’ve been making this casserole for almost 20 years and it’s always a hit. Even my meat-eater husband likes it. Serve with a crusty French bread or soft breadsticks. Leftovers are great in an omelet the next day.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ pounds zucchini, cubed
  • 1 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon basil
  • ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 ½ cups seeded, chopped tomatoes
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

Step 1
Combine the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, until rice is tender.

Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a shallow 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.

Step 3
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the zucchini, green onions, and garlic 5 minutes, or until tender. Season with garlic salt, basil, paprika, and oregano. Mix in the cooked rice, tomatoes, and 1 cup cheese. Continue to cook and stir until heated through. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.

Step 4
Bake uncovered 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
