Ever since a friend shared this classic casserole with me. I actually look forward to our annual bounty of zucchini. This cheesy veggie bake makes a pretty entree or brunch item. I keep the recipe handy, I know I will get requests.

I have been making this since 2009. I love it!! It is a perfect all in one meatless summer meal!

I have however, changed it up a bit. I add 1 large green pepper, chopped to the onion and saute both. I have also completely omitted the sugar and add 2 small cans of sliced mushrooms, drained when adding the black olives.
