Pretty tasty for all the veggies in this. I substituted yellow squash for half of the zucchini squash to give some variety in the color and texture. Next time, though, I will probably only use a pound of bacon since there was a lot of meat fat that the veggies were soaking in by the time all was said and done. Overall rating pretty good, though. -
Love the addition of bacon and cheese. Yummy! Thanks Kittycara :) -
kittycara this is great! Had everything on hand, so that made it super duper easy. I did caramelize some onions and garlic, (had this for another dish I was preparing) so added this too. Sprinkled the top w/ paprika, and it was devoured by all. Thanks! -
A great way to disguise veggies for the kids. Very simple & tasty. Hubby asked if we could have veggies like this all the time, thanks for posting! -
This was very good. I made a few small changes to reduce the fat & calories... I used 8 large zucchini which netted 11c & filled a 9x11x2" dish. I didn't (oops) have fresh tomates so i used 1 can of diced. I used fat free mozzarella - DON'T DO THIS. Blech. I used lower sodium bacon & only 1 lb which was plenty. YUMMMM. I added quite a bit of pepper because I love the stuff & I think sauteing an onion with the zucchini would be a nice addition. Great recipe - well done, dh!
