Italian zucchini casserole

Inspiration

This recipe is tried and tested solely with Market ingredients by our very own Market Manager, Rachael Ristau, who incorporated Kelly Miller’s recipe into her weekly meal prep. Serving up to six servings with the measurements below, it’s the perfect dish when hot out of the crockpot or packed for the next day’s office lunch. Replace rice with quinoa — yum!

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tbsp dried minced onion

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
