INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef (95% lean)
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup diced Onion
2 cloves minced Garlic
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and crumbly, seasoning with salt, pepper, dried basil, and oregano.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds. In a lightly greased casserole dish, layer the zucchini slices as a base.
Mix the cooked brown rice with the tomato sauce in a bowl.
Stir the cooked beef into the rice and tomato sauce mixture, then add the lightly beaten egg to act as a binder.
Pour the beef and rice mixture evenly over the zucchini in the casserole dish.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the casserole is set and the cheese is slightly golden.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
