Meaty Zucchini Casserole

This Meaty Zucchini Casserole has a zucchini base that is great with so many things. I truthfully use this recipe as a sort of fridge cleaner. First, I make the zucchini base and then choose a sauce, of some kind. Alfredo also works great. I have used every kind of meat, from sliced sausage to turkey to chicken, I could go on. I throw in whatever vegetables I need or want to use and throw some cheese on top. Bake and it’s like a different dish every time!
