  3. In a 2 qt casserole dish, spread a layer of the meat mixture (1/3 mixture) on the bottom. Then add a sprinkle of cheese (about 1/3 of the cheese), and then cover with thinly sliced zucchini (1/2 zucchini.) Repeat a second time and then spread the remaining meat mixture on the top and cover with the remaining cheese.
  4. Bake at 400˚F for 20-30 minutes or until the edges begin to bubble.
