This delicious gluten-free, low-carb beef zucchini au gratin recipe is packed with nutrient-dense ingredients smothered in cheesy goodness.
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.
Greek yogurt is a protein-rich substitute that packs a punch. You can find more recipes with this secret ingredient in my zucchini carrot cake muffins, chocolate banana muffins, and even our favorite pancake recipe.
Sit your family down for a delicious meal that you can feel fabulous about and enjoy the flavor at the same time.
The key to this recipe is drying the zucchini and then draining the dish after it is made if necessary. Let me know what you think in the comments!!
