1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a zucchini casserole with minced meat in the oven? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Even mature zucchini can be used to prepare this dish, and it will still turn out delicious. Minced meat can be mixed from pork and beef to obtain a fattier and more nutritious dish, or from poultry meat, such as turkey, which is dietary.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the zucchini; if they are milky ripe, you can grate them together with the skin. Peel the ripe fruits, remove the skin, remove the core with seeds, and grate the pulp on a coarse grater. When the zucchini stands for a while, they will give juice; you need to squeeze out the excess juice from the zucchini mass.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onions and finely chop with a knife. Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan and turn on the heat. Fry the onions until translucent over medium heat, stirring with a spatula.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the minced meat into the frying pan. You can make it yourself from fresh meat in a meat grinder or buy it ready-made in a store. You can use any minced meat you like. Fry the minced meat over medium heat, stirring constantly and breaking it up with a spatula so that it does not remain in large pieces. Fry the minced meat until half cooked, about 10-15 minutes, depending on what type of meat it is from, it should change color to dark, dull.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the tomatoes and cut into thin slices. Grate the hard cheese. Peel the garlic and grate it on a fine grater or pass it through a press.

6. STEP 6

   

   Beat chicken eggs into a deep bowl, add sour cream, salt, and ground black pepper to taste. Using a whisk, thoroughly whisk the ingredients until the mixture is homogeneous in consistency.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place two-thirds of the minced squash into a greased baking dish.

8. STEP 8

   

   Top with all the minced meat with onions and garlic passed through a press. Place tomato slices on the minced meat.

9. STEP 9

   

   Next, sprinkle the remaining zucchini with grated cheese and pour in the egg-sour cream mixture. Place the mold with the zucchini and minced meat in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 30 minutes. Remove the casserole, let cool slightly, sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve. Bon appetit!

There were a couple of zucchini left, so we decided to make a zucchini casserole with minced meat in the oven. I took minced chicken, fried it along with onions and decided to add a little tomato paste. Then I did everything according to the recipe: I laid out layers of grated squeezed zucchini, minced meat, another layer of zucchini, sprinkled with cheese and poured in the egg mixture. I baked for 40 minutes. The casserole turned out very tasty. It kept its shape well and did not fall apart. The zucchini was cooked well and wasn't watery, and the mince wasn't dry. I recommend everyone to cook this dish!
