Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the shredded zucchini with a pinch of salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Squeeze out as much moisture from the zucchini as you can using a clean kitchen cloth or paper towels.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini with eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and press the zucchini mixture evenly into the bottom.
- Bake the crust for 20 minutes, or until set and lightly browned.
- While the crust is baking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onions, and cook until browned.
- Add the pizza sauce, diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, dried oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper to the skillet, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Spread the beef mixture evenly over the baked crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
Squeeze out water from zucchini thoroughly to avoid a soggy crust. Feel free to experiment with different cheese options.
