I can't believe I have never reviewed this recipes as I've been making it for years! I make it as written and the whole family loves it. It helps to get rid of the massive zucchini surplus that I have every year during gardening season. For such a simple recipe, it definitely packs in the flavor. The only variation I make sometimes is that I will use salsa instead of spaghetti sauce and cook up the beef like taco meat for a Mexican inspired meal. Another great recipe, Kitten!

This is time consuming to make. It was ok but I think it was my fault. I used sausage and cooked it with garlic gloves, green pepper, and onion. Used a sausage flavored spagehtti sauce. I drained everything really good and halfed the cheese but still came out greasey. I will try again with ground beef next time. I also thought the zuchinni was gonna turn into a crust but it didn't.
