To reduce the fat a bit, I steam the zucchini and onion until barely tender, and use half yellow squash at times. Drain very well in a colander, then proceed. I use about 1\/2 cup of whatever cheese I have on hand, but sharp cheddar is a favorite here. I also put in about 1\/8 teaspoon nutmeg and only 1\/4 teaspoon salt. I have always used bread crumbs on top, but the Rice Chex with 2 TBSP butter is great! Very crispy after baking!","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"06\/08\/2019 15:19","GUID":"3cf6b49937384c2585023dbe7682b81e","MemberId":5547136,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"GrammaMJ","SubmittedDate":"06\/08\/2019 15:19"},{"Comment":"This is so good I've made it 3 times in 1 week, I did add 1 tsp. of garlic powder along with the salt.

I make this and make this and make this during the summer (and it even freezes well enough, if you really drain it and add the topping just before baking). I've made it with many different toppings ... chex or rice krispy are nice for GF folk ... croutons or crackers work in a pinch. I always DRAIN the zucc\/onion mixture in a collander before mixing it all together. Today I made it with a mix of odd shaped yellow squash, patty pans and zucc. Always a hit!

This was really good. I did double the cheese to 2 cups. I also added more butter. The topping was delicious. Also, a great gluten free recipe. I might add and extra egg next time.

I thought this was a great summer idea. I used half zucchini and half yellow squash because it's what I had. Have to cut the sodium way down at our house so I didn't salt, actually used 1\/2 t of Mrs. Dash no salt Fiesta Lime seasoning, used swiss cheese ( a lot less sodium) and I used crushed Ritz crackers that are the "hint of salt" kind instead of cereal. Still tasty.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"09\/11\/2014 18:22","GUID":"53398AE8F242487680FA9A8C47A99C65","MemberId":797539,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Cook_aholic","SubmittedDate":"09\/11\/2014 18:22"},{"Comment":"
This was easy to prepare. Used crushed corn flakes as I didn't want to go buy Rice Chex. I didn't have enough zucchini so added fresh sliced mushrooms and sliced pre-cooked Jimmy Dean turkey sausages to "bulk it up." Also added a little extra cheese. Made a great main dish. Next time I might sub pepper jack cheese and crushed tortilla chips for a tex mex version. Just have to figure out how to incorporate salsa and\/or tomatoes.<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"09\/07\/2014 23:51","GUID":"6b5485bbf17948f3acb0874542c1db82","MemberId":6725667,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"toolbarsco","SubmittedDate":"09\/07\/2014 23:51"},{"Comment":"
