ZUCCHINI TACO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Brown your ground beef, add onions, taco seasoning, and a can of Rotel tomatoes if you're feeling fancy.
• While your ground beef browns, slice your zucchini into quarter inch rounds. You'll want these thin so they cook quickly.
• Spread the zucchini rounds all over a greased casserole dish, this recipe works well in a 9×13″ dish or even an 8×8″ baking dish.
• Spread the taco meat mixture over the zucchini, trying your best to cover each zucchini round.
• Place in a 350-degree oven for 20 minutes.
• During the last five minutes, spread cheese all over the top and broil until brown and bubbly!
• Serve with taco toppings and enjoy!
