Yummy and kid friendly recipe

As much as I try to get my kids to eat their veggies....they just don't!! So I'm constinatly trying to hide them in their food somehow....
Just thought I'd share this recipe that I found and yes my kiddo's ate zucchini and didn't even know it!!

Zuchinni and Beef Pizza Casserole

4 cups unpeeled shredded zucchini
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
½ cup Parmesan cheese
3 cups shredded mozzarella, divided
1 lb ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
15 oz can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and
chopped
---------------------------------------------------------------                                                              Place zucchini in strainer; sprinkle with salt and
let drain for 10 minutes. Squeeze out moisture.
Combine zucchini with eggs, Parmesan and
half of mozzarella. Press into a greased baking
dish. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
Brown ground beef with onions and garlic; drain
and season with salt and pepper. Add tomato

zucchini mixture. Top with remaining

minutes.
