Creamy Zucchini and Ground Beef Casserole
"This is from the Sooner Sampler; a cookbook published by the Norman Junior League back in the 80s. This casserole is WAY more flavorful that the ingredients suggest! A lot of bang for very little buck."

Love this recipe, only not very filling so I added a couple cups of cooked brown rice. That did the trick. Also put some French fried onions on top . -
Crushed potato chips on top.....added a great crispy crust...delicious ! -
I made this with canned squash; drained it, and instead of layers, mixed it all together, adding fried onion rings on top the last five minutes. It was delicious, thank you for this! -
My husband said he liked this one. I added some french fried onions on top. -
This was wonderful! I had some leftover rice that I heated and put in between the layers to use up the rice and stretch the casserole and that worked well.

<p>I've been cooking since I was a child and by the time I was 16 was shopping/planning and cooking for my family. I don't always get to cook each night and have many different palates to please but I try to cook something new each week.</p>
<p>I have an extremely committed vegetarian son so it's been fun lately to try to cook something new and healthy with him each week.</p>
<p>I would rather plan a dinner party than go out on the town!</p>
<p>I deal with difficult people all day long for work so I try to be as positive and upbeat as possible. :) :)</p>
