ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 (32 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (I use Ragu with sugar added to cut back on the acid)

  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 -4 cups mozzarella cheese (depending on your taste)

directions

  • Slice the zucchini into rounds (medium in thickness).
  • Beat eggs in a bowl and add milk.
  • Toss the zucchini in the flour, then egg and milk mixture and then the bread crumbs. I do about 5-8 slices at a time depending on how I cook them.
  • You have a couple options at this point. I deep fry my zucchini and feel I get the most flavor this way. You can also pan fry then by heating olive oil in a frying pan or, you can also bake them at 350 until tender. There is no need to grease the sheet.
  • Repeat this process until all the zucchini is cooked. I place them on a plate lined with paper towels (to absord some of the oil) as I take them out. Set aside.
  • Cook the ground beeg in a large pot and drain.
  • Stir in sauce (add in sugar and other spices to your taste).
  • In a 13 x 9 pan spread the sauce mixture in the bottom.
  • Add a layer of the zucchini.
  • Add another layer of sauce then a layer of zucchini.
  • Repeat until all zucchini is used.
  • Top with Mozzarella Cheese.
  • Bake at 350 for about 30 - 45 minutes or until cheese is melted to you taste).
  • Cool for 15 minutes and server.
