"I am adding another zucchini recipe from the past. I have long forgotten exactly where it came from. Actual prep time will depend on how much time you spend shredding your cheese. Save money and shred you own. Save time and buy it already shredded."

Great dish - my coworkers wanted to steal my supper away and devour it themselves. I used 3 cups diced tomatoes canned, used instant brown rice, mozz for the monteryey and asiago for the 2nd amt of 1/2 cup of chdr chz. My sour cream was bad so subbed in plain yogurt. I didn't cook my zucchini as per recipe but decided a few mins in microwave to soften up and could have cooked it more but a bit of crunchy zuke was okay in the dish. Recipe didn't say how long to cook at 350 so I did it for 35 mins -
I had a zucchini from the garden to use so I figured I would give this recipe a try. I figured we would like it but I was surprised that everyone loved it and there wasn't any left. I followed the recipe except that I used all cheddar cheese and used a can of tomato sauce instead of the sour cream. I finished the dish up on the grill and had cooked it for 30 minutes. We will be making this again. -
Very tasty! I chose this recipe b/c I had a zucchini as well as a partial can of rotel and half pound ground beef to use up. So I made a half recipe which gave me 3 pretty large servings. I used plain long grain white rice and it cooked perfectly. It was really very good. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag. -
Wonderful dish for a potluck. It went over very well and forwarded a lot of people the receipe. I used diced tomatoes since it didn't stipulate whole or not and I was probably a little more generous with the cheese and worseshire sauce. It was very easy to put together and stored in the refrigerator over night very well ... Thanks I will surely use it again ... Steve -
Excellent!! Believe it or not, a light non-dairy version, using ground chicken and soy sour cream & cheese, was delicious too!

<p>Hello to all you great chefs out there from around the world. <br /> <br />I live in the Missouri Ozarks where good down home food and eating is what it is all about. <br /> <br />Hubby and I use to love to travel around the country, we are not able to do that anymore. <br /> <br />Love the times my family can all get together. Love going to flea markets and garage sales to scout out whatever I am collecting at the time. I love old pottery, crystal vases, fun picture frames, fabric, gardening. We will be doing container gardening only this year due to a decline in health. Plan on several kinds of tomatoes and pepper. Love flowers and houseplants. <br /> <br />I love my digital camera, and hope to find the recipes of the pictures I have already taken. I don't have a favorite cookbook, unless it is the one in my hand at the moment. They are all like special friends. We love our furbaby Abbey. She keeps us on track. <br /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /></p>
