Italian Beef & Zucchini Pie

Zucchini season is in FULL swing!  Here's a recipe that makes a savory dinner dish:

Italian Beef & Zucchini Pie

• 1/2 lb. ground beef, browned
• 4 c. sliced zucchini 
• 1 c. chopped onion
• 1 1/2 tsp. dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. basil
• 1/4 tsp. oregano
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper 
• 2 eggs
• 1 - 2 cups mozzarella cheese

Sautee Zucchini and onion in a little oil until tender.  Stir in browned beef.  Beat eggs with a fork and add salt, cayenne, and herbs.  Mix well.  Spread zucchini/beef mixture in a greased pie plate and pour egg mix over it. 

Bake at 350°F for 20 - 25 minutes.  Let sit for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.  We found that a spoonful of spaghetti sauce over the top of each piece was a tasty touch.
