Notes

  • Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to prevent sogginess.
  • Substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or vegetable soup for a vegetarian version.
  • For extra cheesiness, add cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
