Zucchini Pizza Casserole
This Zucchini Pizza Casserole is a delicious zucchini recipe that is perfect for a family meal. It makes a wonderful side dish, entree or is terrific for a potluck dinner.
Happy Sunday, I hope you are enjoying your weekend! We had beautiful weather here in Maine. I took a drive into the mountains yesterday to enjoy some of the spectacular Fall foliage. This has been one of the best years for leaf peeping in recent memory! It has also been a good year for my garden. In fact, I have a bumper crop of zucchini. It has been fun getting creative using it in a variety of recipes. I tried something new today and made this Zucchini Pizza Casserole. It was so easy to make, but full of flavor. Everyone loved it, even the kids!

How do I make the Zucchini Pizza Casserole?
As I mentioned above, this is very simple to make! Just preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Wash and chop the zucchini into bite sized pieces and put in a large bowl. Pour in the pizza sauce and toss to coat. Dump the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with half of the pepperoni.
Then, bake in oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with cheese and remaining pepperoni. Pop it back in the oven and bake for about 10 more minutes until cheese is melted. Serve warm and enjoy!

Absolutely, this dish is so versatile! Think of it as a pizza that you can add just about any toppings that you like. Other things I enjoy in the Zucchini Pizza Casserole are:

You can also use cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella or use just regular tomato sauce. Change it up and see what you might like best!
