Zucchini casserole with ground meat and rice
Description
Delicious baked dish for the whole family. If you use a young zucchini for the casserole, you don’t have to peel it. Don’t squeeze the juice out of the zucchini—it will make the casserole juicier and more tender. Round-grain rice works best, so the casserole holds together better and won’t fall apart. If you like, you can add garlic and any spices to taste. It goes well with tea or coffee.
