Cheesy Zucchini & Pepper Casserole

This is from a wonderful recipe clipping I found in a very old cookbook. I made it this past Christmas and found that it makes a wonderful breakfast dish as well. I only wish there had been more left overs.

I cannot for the life of me, understand why this hasn't be rated yet. But I'm glad to be the first one, as I suspect now, there will be loads of people flocking to this "keel-over" from the most wonderful taste of it. I followed this pretty much exactly, except I didn't have canned chilies, rather ~ I used my chilies from the garden, cut small just as if they had been in a can. This produced the most wonderful squash (zucchini) casserole I have tasted! The chilies, (which are not hot - but do have a great taste to them) really develop into a complete finished food-product that you won't be able to quit sneaking off bites here and there. For the photo I put some fresh garden lettuces on top and around, with some extra cheese sprawled across the top. Delicious! :)Reply
