Directions
Layered Ground Beef and Zucchini Lasagna Casserole, Ground turkey or bulk Italian sausage meat may be substituted for ground beef — I also added in a small chopped green bell pepper into the ground beef mixture, Another excellent Kittencal recipe! used just two cups ricotta, and that seemed to work for us, and used my own homemade Italian seasoning blend in place of the basil and oregano I also added 8 oz of fresh sliced mushrooms, to the layering mixture I could see making this again using Italian sausage in place of the ground beef Either way, it’s a winner!, Another excellent Kittencal recipe! used just two cups ricotta, and that seemed to work for us, and used my own homemade Italian seasoning blend in place of the basil and oregano I also added 8 oz of fresh sliced mushrooms, to the layering mixture I could see making this again using Italian sausage in place of the ground beef Either way, it’s a winner!
