1 lg zucchini, peeled, seeded, cut into 1 inch squares
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, lean
1/2 t basil
1 small onion, minced
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
salt & black pepper to taste
1 lg can tomato sauce
2-3 slices toast, really done
1/4 lb cheddar cheese, shredded (or use how much you want)

Peel & cut up zucchini into 1-inch cubes. Steam until like consistency of mashed potatoes . Set aside. Brown beef with onions, garlic, basil, salt & black pepper. Drain fat. Butter medium casserole dish. Put meat mixture on the bottom, then zucchini, then toast. Repeat if you have enough like a lasagna. Top with can of tomato sauce and finally the cheddar cheese. I use a really large can of sauce, otherwise it’s really dry. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, covered. Take cover off, bake another 10 minutes to brown the cheese.

I hope you like it. I always wish my birthday was at the end of the summer,instead of late fall, so I could have this every year for my birthday. Then I discovered the art of freezing fresh veggies. Love it and I hope you do too. If you want more recipes, I’d love to share and you can too.

Glad for you. Glad for Drew.

Love rocks!

Dr. Pepper is most definitely real love. 🙂
