Easy Gluten Free recipe for all that summer zucchini: Gluten Free Zucchini Casserole.
I love zucchini squash.
I have a problem with zucchini; I love it so much I tend to plant way too much every spring.
Having too much zucchini can be a good thing because I can create some new dishes for my family.
This Gluten Free Zucchini Casserole is similar to one I remember as a child, but I cheated and did not use fresh tomatoes.
NOTE: a true Southerner is NOT going to sacrifice a summer garden tomato perfect for a tomato (mater) sandwich into a casserole; we feel it is against all that we hold dear!
I wanted to use Rotel tomatoes with green chilis to add a little spice to the dish and they gave it just the right amount of spicy heat!
This blend of sautéed zucchini, tomatoes with crunchy bread topping and melted gooey cheese is a scrumptious meal!
The best part of this meal is the kitchen does not get too hot since I used the oven just to melt the cheese and not actually bake the casserole.
