Tall Cool One says "Don't tell anyone how good this is." So I'm not telling you, just quoting what he said. This is the ultimate noodless lasagna.
Zucchini Lasagna
2½ cups zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 2 medium)
¾ lb ground beef
½ Vidalia onion, chopped
1½ cups pasta sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup chopped celery
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
½ cup parmesan cheese
4-6 slices Colby jack cheddar cheese
Directions:
Fry burger, garlic, celery, and onions until meat is brown and onions and celery are tender; drain fat. Add sauce, Italian seasoning and pepper. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered 10 minutes.
In small bowl slightly beat eggs and add cottage cheese, and half of the parmesan cheese.
In (1½ -qt.) baking dish spread a little sauce on the bottom and layer with 1/3 of the zucchini slices. Top with half of the meat mixture, then 2-3 of the cheese slices. Repeat layers two more times. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese and bake uncovered at 375 degrees F for 30- 40 minutes.
Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
