Zucchini Rice Casserole

This is difficult to make look pretty, but it smells like a dream while baking and works as a main or a side. Personally, I could pack even more vegetables in here, but the ratios below will leave you with happy little kids as well. You could fold in some crumbled, browned sausages, or serve some other protein on the side if needed.

I know we all will have different sizes of baking dishes. If yours is deep, it’ll take longer to warm through, so add more time. And yes, I do now see that my skillet needs a good scrub ;)

My dairy-free folks have been so good with the swaps but I’m not sure how this one would turn out as there are three types of cheese. Kite Hill does make a nut-based ricotta, and I’m sure some nutritional yeast could add some cheesy flavor as well.
