INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef (91% lean)
1 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 large Egg
1/2 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until it is just browned. Stir in Italian seasoning.
Slice the zucchini into rounds. In a baking dish, layer half of the zucchini slices, then spread the diced tomatoes evenly, and sprinkle the browned beef over them.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and drizzle it evenly over the beef and vegetables as a binder.
Layer the remaining zucchini slices on top and sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is lightly melted and bubbly.
Allow the bake to cool slightly before serving.
