Zucchini Pizza Casserole

Last night I tried a new recipe that looked yummy, made in your 13 x 9" baking pan Luke and I gobbled up 3/4 of it leaving one portion for one of our lunches the next day! I had to share because anything that is a yummy staple for us, I know others might enjoy! While some ppl might not want to have their ovens on in the summer time I don't really mind and with zucchini being a summer veggie and in season your sure to find a good deal on it! I am a cheese lover so of course I way over added what was called for. I meant to take an actual picture of my final project but we were hungry by the time it was done and it was the season finale of batchlorette so I was a bit preoccupied! ;) So what do we think, everyone happy with the outcome of JP? I am but I did end up feeling sorry for Ben... ohh the saga, cant wait for bachelor pad to start, love my trashy tv Mondays!
