Beef Zucchini Au Gratin Recipe

My cooking philosophy is to keep it “healthy and easy.”

Recipes at Hammers N Hugs will include all-natural ingredients that can often be frozen and have been tested and approved by friends and family!

I love cheese.

This is no secret.

I love meat.

Also no secret.

I love nutrient-dense ingredients that pack a punch without sacrificing melt-in-your-mouth flavor.

Someone print me a t-shirt.

Meat. Veggies. Cheese.

And sneaky protein thanks to one of my favorite ingredient substitutions of all time – plain Greek yogurt.

Sit your family down for a delicious meal that you can feel fabulous about and enjoy at the same time.

The key to this recipe is drying the zucchini and then even draining the dish after it is made if necessary.

Bon appetit!
