Scalloped Zucchini Crock Pot Recipes

LOW CARB SCALLOPED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet or oven-proof pan, and sauté the zucchini. Stir frequently, while cooking, seasoning the zucchini with salt and pepper as you move them around the skillet.
• As the vegetables cook, make the cheese sauce by adding the cream cheese, heavy cream and water to a medium saucepan. Cook over a low heat until the cheese has melted. Add the shredded cheddar, a quarter cup at a time, stirring until it has melted before adding more.
• Drain the zucchini of any excess liquid, then pour the cheese sauce over the zucchini, then finish with the grated Parmesan.
• Roast until the top is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Grind some black pepper over the top and serve.

• Mix 1 cup of the crushed crackers with half of the cheese, the chicken broth and sour cream. Mix in salt. Pour over zucchini; gently stir to coat. Cover; cook on High heat setting 2 hours.
• Toward end of cooking, toss remaining cracker crumbs with remaining melted butter. Toast cracker crumbs in skillet until just golden and crisp. Stir in remaining cheese and the parsley. At end of cook time, turn off slow cooker; remove cover, and sprinkle toasted cracker crumb mixture over top of casserole. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

AIDA'S SCALLOPED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Heat grill to 350 degrees F (medium heat) and oil well.
• Place zucchini in a sieve set over a bowl, salt well, toss to coat, and set aside to let drain, at least 5 minutes.
• When ready to cook, oil 1 piece of aluminum foil on 1 side. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese in the middle of the foil to form a rectangle, shingle 1/4 of the zucchini over cheese (about 3 rows of 8 zucchini coins). Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the shallots and 1 teaspoon of garlic evenly over top, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Top with another 1/4 cup cheese, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, and top with 4 sprigs of thyme. Enclose foil tightly to form a packet and repeat to make 4 packets.
• Place the packets on the grill and cook until zucchini is soft and cooked through, turning once, about 10 minutes total.

CROCK POT ITALIAN ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Spray a slow cooker container with olive oil-flavored cooking spray. In prepared container, combine zucchini and onion. Add undrained tomatoes, Italian dressing, and sugar (or splenda). Mix well to combine.

SLOW COOKER SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Generously spray a slow cooker with cooking spray. Place a layer of potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker and season with salt and pepper. Repeat until all potatoes have been used.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until bubbling. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add milk and continue to cook, whisking continually, until thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in garlic.
• Remove from the heat and add Cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese has melted, placing it back on the heat briefly if necessary, being careful the mixture doesn't scorch. Pour cheese sauce over the potatoes. Shake the slow cooker a bit (do not stir!) to allow cheese sauce to reach all the way to the bottom.
• Cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 4 hours, until potatoes are tender and fully cooked.

SLOW COOKER STUFFED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Scoop out flesh from the zucchini halves, leaving shells about 1/8 inch thick. (Zucchini flesh may be saved for another use.)
• Place tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic, basil leaves, Italian herb seasoning, and sugar into a food processor and pulse until blended, about 1 minute. Set mixture aside.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add sausage to skillet and cook, stirring often, until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato mixture and heat until simmering; stir in Parmesan cheese.
• Place hollowed-out zucchini shells into the bottom of a large slow cooker, trimming them to fit if necessary. Spoon the sausage mixture into the shells, cover the cooker, and cook on High until tender, about 6 hours. Remove cover and spread a layer of mozzarella cheese over each stuffed zucchini. Cover and cook on High until cheese has melted, about 10 more minutes.
