You'll love the crispy golden crust and the hearty filling in this layered meat pie sent in by Margery Bryan. "It's a great way to use up homegrown zucchini," says the Royal City, Washington gardener. "Plus, the leftovers freeze superbly."

Great flavor in this pie. I used garlic powder for my sodium restricted family and it was fine. Too lazy to layer, I mixed everything together and it came out great. Thanks for sharing this gem.

This is a very good. My family love this. I froze it and took it on the houseboat..my boys loved it. I just graded the zucchini and mixed it in. In one I added hot chili peppers for my son who likes it hot. This is a Keeper!

You could try just one crust only on top if it's calories your trying to save. Or try using a biscuit like topping. Or even just topping with cheese only without any crust/topping

Hi. Confused .I hope i;m not barging in to something. I'm new to the computer.I saw your comment and thought you could use mashed potatoes to top the hamburger and zucchini mixture and then sprinkle with a little cheese...Shepards Pie.
