Zucchini Cheese Casserole Recipe

This zucchini casserole is highly versatile. You could substitute some of the zucchini for yellow squash and use fresh minced garlic for the garlic powder.

If using fresh garlic just add it to the skillet with the zucchini during the final minute of cooking. 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder is equivalent to about 2 garlic cloves.
