Easy Cheesy Zucchini Casserole

July 31, 2019 by My Farmhouse Table 36 Comments

Easy Cheesy Zucchini Casserole

It’s coming into late summer and that means the garden is kicking out plenty of fresh produce (more if those dang tomatoes ever decide to turn from green to red)! What is one vegetable that always seems to out produce what you can do with it? Zucchini! So try this recipe for Easy Cheesy Zucchini Casserole.

Easy Cheesy Zucchini Casserole The Best Zucchini Recipe Baked Side Dish with Fresh or Frozen Garden Zucchini My Farmhouse Table

Last year, for the blog, I was asked if I had any easy zucchini recipes to share.

Well, since last year zucchini was skipped being planted, I made sure to throw a few seeds in this year.

The first zucchini was pulled from the garden this weekend.

Let me tell you… it was the size of a toddler!

I place the blame on two things:

  1. He had been hiding on the back side of the plant.
  2. He had been hiding behind a very unfriendly looking garden spider.

Disclaimer.

No “very unfriendly looking” garden spiders were harmed in the making of this casserole.

With just a few simple ingredients and a little prep, this casserole comes together in no time.

Perfect when served with a grilled steak or pork chop.

Author My Farmhouse Table

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Zucchini, diced into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 Eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 3/4 – 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tbsp Butter, melted

Instructions

  1. To a pot of boiling water, add the diced zucchini and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and cool.

  2. In a bowl, combine the parboiled zucchini, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, eggs, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. Pour into a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish.

  4. In a bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs with melted butter. Pour breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole.

  5. Bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 35 minutes, or until zucchini is fork tender.

Recipe Notes

*If freezing the zucchini for this recipe. Take the diced zucchini boil in the water for 3 minutes and then place into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the cooled zucchini and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place baking sheet into freezer. The next day bag the zucchini in a couple labeled freezer bags. 

*Then at a later date, thaw the zucchini. Drain any excess water. Then continue with the recipe as listed above.

*You can make this recipe without parboiling the zucchini first, but you will need to add more baking time to the casserole.

    Super. But I sure do hate the parboiling part. Can anyone give me am idea exactly how long to baks it without parboiling and at what temperature?

      Renee, without parboiling it could take 10-20 more minutes of baking. You may also want to cover the casserole for part or all of that time so the topping does not burn.

    Can’t wait to try this! Just loaded up on zucchini today at the farmers market. Any idea of calorie count per serving?

      Kim it is a great way to use zucchini as a side dish! Per serving this would be between 175-200 calories. Most of the calories coming from the mayonnaise and cheese.

    Fabulous recipe!
    I did not parboil the zucchini (my only change to the recipe), baked for about 1 hour.
    The first 30 min covered with foil per your suggestion in the comments section.
    It was a lovely golden brown on top. Totally perfect!

    Thanks Doll

    Can I use Light Mayonnaise if no Miracle Whip?

      Cherie I have never used Miracle Whip in this recipe. While it works in some instances, I don’t know if it would in this casserole. It maybe too sweet. But if you’re willing to be the guinea pig 😉 Light Mayonnaise would be better.

    Really easy and great use of squash abundance, Used potato soup mix as I didn’t have time to dry out the squash and that helped thicken the sauce and added flavor
    My family loved this, another great addition to our Sunday easy meal plan

      Jackie that is a great question. I have only ever tried this recipe with mayo. You could maybe use plain greek yogurt, but I’m not sure how well that will bake up.

    We love this! Our new favorite. I made this once already and I’m making it again today. I used about 5 cups zucchini, and didn’t parboil it. 1/2 mayo and 1/2 plain yogurt. Used the end of the bag of tortilla chips instead of breadcrumbs 🙂 Adding fresh basil and chili flakes this time and serving with fresh tomatoes on top! I’m excited for dinner tonight.

    Made this last night and was super happy with the results..I did par boil the zucchini and it wasa perfect casserole after about 35 minutes baking and 2 -3 more under the broiler for browning. Next time I make it – and there will definitely be a next time, I think I’ll try reducing the mayo just a bit but that’s just a personal taste thing. This is an excellent recipe. Thank you!

      Hi Jennifer. I have not tried anything other then the mayo for this casserole. I know sometimes people are able to substitute Greek yogurt in place of mayo, but I’m not sure if that would work in this recipe.
