Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice the zucchini into 1/2" rounds and place in a colander with a sprinkle of salt; let sit for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions until softened, then add garlic and ground beef; cook until browned.
  4. Stir in the drained diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  5. In an 8×8 baking dish, layer half of the ground beef mixture, half of the zucchini slices, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly browned on top.
