Beef Zucchini Casserole

For a warm, hearty meal, nothing beats something cooked in a slow cooker...except maybe something cooked in a slow cooker and then baked in the oven with cheese on top! This zucchini casserole is a wonderful blend of flavors, and it's really easy to make.

We love this recipe and find it very versatile. I have added mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower and green beans and omitted the beef. I did find that the croutons were too much bread for our taste. The stuffing gives it a very good flavor.
