Zucchini Pizza Casserole

Great recipe. I used pizza sauce (Prego) as recommended by other reviewers. I also added 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pizza seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon basil, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon frozen pizza seasoning, and 1/2 t. garlic powder. Everyone loved it - including the 2 and 8 year old grandchildren.
Excited by this simple yet tasty gluten-free recipe!
This recipe is great! I like to add mushrooms to the sauce and top with black olives...yum!
Excellent recipe - didn't change a thing. I'll be making it again. Delicious.
It is like a pizza without a bread crust. Good recipe for a gluten free diet. Very tasty.
Excellent! Kids had seconds!
My family loved this but I did make changes. I used bulk Italian sausage instead of ground beef and pizza sauce instead of tomato sauce. I don't think it would have tasted like pizza otherwise. The crust had to be baked longer than recommended and the zucchini needed more time in the colander to draw out the moisture. Knowing this now and making those changes I will be making it again.
Great recipe and really easy to make hotdish. (Can't believe anyone from Minnesota would call it a casserole)
I made this with the veggies from my garden. It was so tasty that I will definitely make it again. I found that it did not feed eight, unless you have several sides or a giant salad. The reason I like casseroles so much is so I don't have to make sides ;-). I feel to have it as a stand alone meal, that the more appropriate servings listed would be 5 or 6. Next time I make it (which i will for sure), I will double the recipe if I intend to feed more than 4. Loved it!
Love Love Love the zucchini crust. I've made the recipe several times, similar to as written, I substituted pizza sauce. Also, I take the grated zucchini and place on a clean dishtowel and wring out the moisture, no salt no colander. This last time, I made it like a real pizza. DELICIOUS
