I made this zucchini/rice casserole Saturday, hadn't had it in 3-4 years. When I was working, about 10 years ago my boss at the time brought this to a potluck. I loved it right off, and it's become one of my 'feel good' dishes. Old Betty Crocker recipe.
Recipe below picture.
Baked Zucchini & Rice
Betty Crocker – Meatless Main Dishes
1T butter
½ cup chopped onion
2/3 cup uncooked white rice
4 cups sliced zucchini (about 5 medium)
1/3 cup chopped parsley
1 large clove garlic, chopped
2 tsp. salt
Pepper – to taste
1 cup boiling water
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1 1/3 cups shredded sharp cheese (about 5-6 oz)
===========================================================================
1. Heat oven to 350
2. In large saucepan melt butter and sauté onion until soft, add rice to coat. Add zucchini, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper and boiling water. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
3. Beat eggs, stir in grated cheese and milk; stir into zucchini mixture.
4. Pour into a greased 1 ½ qt. casserole dish. Cover and bake about 25 minutes.
5. Uncover and bake five minutes longer.
Notes:
We use dry parsley
I’m sure most often we use garlic powder
You can use zucchini, summer squash or a combo of both
We sometimes add buttered and seasoned panko crumbs on top, but it’s fabulous without.
