This was delicious! I halved the recipe and used shredded zucchini instead of diced. I baked it a little longer to get the zucchini softer--I like my zucchini very soft. I intended to take it to work for lunch, but it smelled and looked sooo good coming out of the oven that I had to sample some then and there!<br/><br/>This would also be really good with some potato shreds instead of the bread, using the shredded zucchini, to make it like a potato casserole texture.

This is phenomenal! So glad to find it to help use up our bumper crop of zukes. I didn't have four slices of bread, so I ended up using two slices of bread and a cup of croutons (garlic and butter flavor), so used less butter as well. Already have requests to make it again! Thanks!

Yum, yum, yum! I doubled this recipe, because I had loads of zucchini. It's super easy to make and tastes awesome. I sauteed my zucchini and onions in the butter before stirring everything together. Because I did that, I only needed to bake it half the time (uncovered). Since I doubled it, I put half the cheese right in the casserole and the other half on top. Loved it! I'll use this recipe again; thanx!

"Thank you, thank you". This time of the year "my cup run it over with garden veggies". I needed another Zucchini Casserole recipe and your's is "perfect" and "flexible". In my book that's a "winner"! I wanted to make it last night but I didn't have 4 slices of bread. Instead, I used 1 Cup Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Stuffing in place of the 4 slices of bread and added almost 1/2 Cup of veggie broth that I had on hand. (I was afraid the stuffing would be too dry) I did add 1/2 Cup chopped green pepper. (garden overload) After that, I followed your recipe. It was "perfect"! There is only DH and I. Tonight I'll use the leftover with a topping of sautaied onion, garden tomatoes and peppers. We will love it - I know it will be just as good with the 4 slices of bread. Can't wait to try. You made dealing with my "bumper crop of zucchini" special. Thank You.
