Layered Cheesy Tuna and Zucchini Casserole
A family favorite! --- I would recommend to slice the zucchini fairly thick and you may want to add in some chopped green bell pepper also if desired, I have even substituted cooked chicken breast in place of tuna with great success, I like to combine both mozzarella and cheddar cheeses but of coarse one or the other may be used, I also add in 1 teaspoon garlic powder to the sour cream mixture.
