Zucchini Pizza Casserole

This one we were kind of scared to try. But it has become a staple. It's fun because you can really put whatever toppings on it that you like.

INGREDIENTS
3 cups shredded zucchini
1 clove garlic, minced
3 large eggs
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1.5 cups reduced fat biscuit mix
15 oz can pizza sauce*
1/2 cooked Italian sausage, crumbled
1/2 cup sliced black olives, drained
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
4 oz can sliced mushrooms
1 cup Italian Blend shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray.

Mix together shredded zucchini, garlic, eggs, parmesan cheese, and biscuit mix. Spread in bottom of prepared 9x13 pan. Drizzle with pizza sauce; gently spread over zucchini base. Top with pizza toppings of choice; top with 1/2 the Italian Blend cheese.

Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until base is cooked through. sprinkle with remaining cheese and return to oven until cheese is melted Allow to set 5-10 minutes before cutting.

*May substitute pizza sauce with 15 oz tomato sauce mixed with 1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves, 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.

**May substitute with pizza toppings of choice (some toppings may increase juiciness of final dish).

  1. If you don't have Bisquick here is a simple recipe to use. You will have to 1.5 it to get the right measurements.

    1 cup flour
    1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/4 tsp salt
    1 Tbls crisco

    Mix dry ingredients and then cut in shortening. If you don't use this immediately it needs to be stored in the fridge.
