    This casserole would make a great meatless main dish or vegetable side dish. The cheesy zucchini concoction will have everyone wanting seconds. Since I don't like very spicy food, I would omit the cayenne pepper from this recipe. I would also use reduced fat cheddar cheese and add sliced mushrooms to the casserole.
