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.

ZUCCHINI & RICE CASSEROLE



Zucchini & Rice Casserole image

Found on the Club Mom website in 2000. This is just one more way to serve zucchini to your family. It also can be made ahead and baked -- then cover tightly and refrigerate overnight to reheat the next day (375F for 20 minutes). This makes 12 servings so feel to cut in half to fit your needs.
