A delightful casserole combining zucchini, beef, and cheese for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and dice the onion.
Uniform slicing helps the vegetables cook evenly.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion and cook until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and mayonnaise. Stir in the cooked rice and shredded cheese.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for even distribution.
Combine the cooked beef and onion mixture with the zucchini slices and the egg mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
Gently fold the ingredients to avoid breaking the zucchini slices.
Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
Use seasoned breadcrumbs for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is heated through.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even browning.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Allowing it to cool helps the casserole set for easier serving.
