Our family (and we have a couple of self proclaimed zucchini haters) loved this. This is my first go to when the zucchine plants are producing more than we can eat. I often print out this recipe and put in the bags of zucchini I take to the neighbors.

I really liked this zucchini dish. Followed the directions exactly. I thought it might be a bother doing both stove stop cooking and baking, but it wasn't that much extra work. Both my husband and I thought it could use more seasoning. I think next time I will either double or triple the garlic. (I really love garlic) and use season salt in place of the regular salt. Maybe a little pepper. The recipe is a keeper. Thanks sherryinmo.

I loved this zucchine dish. I did use yellow squash as that is what grows in my garden. But they taste the same. I also had to use the fat free evaporated milk, light sour cream and 2% cheese due to diet restrictions. Still it was very good. A nice mellow flavor but we really enjoyed it. Thank you. Made for PAC 2009.

Great zucchini recipe! Very easy to make, too. I used fat free evaporated milk and light sour cream. I used a little more cheese, but that's me. I'll make this again, and maybe even put a crushed cracker topping on top. Thanx!
