Mama's Spicy Zucchini Casserole
This recipe comes from my friend Star (starshineeliz) I love zucchini and it's my favorite veggie! This recipe is another great way to use up the zucchini from the garden! The Ritz crackers are so good throughout the casserole!
2-3 small zucchini, I used 2 medium
2 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup onion, minced
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomato, drained
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 and 1/4 cups cracker crumbs (Ritz)
Cut zucchini into 1/2 inch strips. Boil in salted water until tender. Drain.
Melt butter and saute onion and green pepper in a sauce pan. Add tomatoes and chili powder. Cook for 5 minutes and add zucchini.
Blend melted butter with cracker crumbs.
In a 9x13 sprayed baking dish, layer 1/2 of zucchini mixture, 1/2 of cracker crumbs and 1/2 of cheese.
Add remaining zucchini mixture, 1/2 of cheese and 1/2 of cracker crumbs.
Bake 25-30 minutes at 350.
Note: Yellow squash may be substituted for zucchini.
