Absolutely delish!! I would like to make this to take to a Thanksgiving dinner. Can I use a 9x13 casserole dish for this or should I adjust the recipe?? Thanks.

This recipe was delicious! mine turned out at just the right consistency and the flavors were fabulous! my husband asked for seconds. This is best to eat while it is still hot from the oven. I used vegetable oil because I did not have canola oil.

I do not care for zucchini much. BUT I'm changing my diet and want to incorporate more veggies in it, so decided i would try this. It is fantastic. Love it. Of course we all add our own tastes to it and my changes/additions are i whole onion thinly sliced (I have a mandolin) 5 sections of a head clove of garlic minced, italian seasoned bread crumbs. It is in the permanent recipe file. Thank you.

Oh my gosh. This was so good. It was not dry like some reviews say. I did use Olive Oil as I had no canola oil and I did add 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. the only thing I would change is next time add a little more salt, but that is just our taste. I will definitely make this again. It would be really good as a light meal with a salad or as an appetizer when you have a party.

This is tasteless. It needs many more seasonings. I can barely swallow it

Excellent! I've made this several times since I first found the recipe. Instead of using 1/2 cup of oil, I used about 1/3 cup. It's never been dry. Adding some diced,cooked ham gives it wonderful flavor.

After baking, the onions and zucchini were still a little crunchy. It was MUCH better when the leftovers were reheated. You could really taste the Parmesan cheese then. Next time, I'll cook the zucchini and onions a bit before putting this all together.

This is very good and makes your kitchen smell really good while baking. I substituted a rounded teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning for the parsley, and I grated the zucchini and finely chopped the onion. This would even be good for a brunch.

I REVIEWED THIS RECIPE ONCE BUT I FOUND A WAY TO MAKE IT TASTE BETTER. IT WAS DRY SO I MADE A WHITE SAUCE AND PUT XTRA SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE IN IT AND PUT THAT OVER THE PIE. MADE IT MUCH EASIER TO EAT. THEN I DIDN'T HAVE TO THROW IT OUT. KIND OF LIKE A GRAVY. DONALEE2

Great recipe. I didn't have any parm cheese or onions so I substituted cheddar cheese and just didn'y use any onions. Will definetely re-make with onions. I think they will be a much needed texture in this pie. Still very yummy though!

This was very quick and easy to make. I made the recipe exactly as written but threw some shredded cheddar jack cheese on the top for color.... probably a half cup. At 35 minutes of baking time, it was set except for the center so the next time I make it , I will probably bake for 40 to 45 minutes. It was tasty..... and NOT oily. Very good... thanks Lucia for the yummy recipe.

I, too, was nervous about the amount of oil it called for, in addition to the fat in the baking mix and the greased pie pan, but I made it anyway. The oil created a crisp crust, helped to "saute" the onions and zucchini while cooking, and crisped up some of the Parmesan cheese nicely, but it did bubble on the sides of the pan. Perhaps when I make it next time I will try reducing the oil by half and/or using milk in place of the other half. We did not find it dry at all, even after cooking it for 40 minutes and then letting it cool in the pan for another 10.

Takes a little longer to bake than recipe states, especially if you want it more golden. Kids (3; ages 11, 8, 5) all liked this recipe. It's a keeper!

Very dry--would suggest cooking zucchini and onions first and then continue with the rest of the dish. Have a similar recipe which I prefer over this one.

Tried this recipe. Used a whole large zucchini which was probably about 3 cups. Didn't have enough seasoning so I added herb de provance. Cut the oil to 2 tbsp and added an extra egg. Some fresh basil too. Instead of mincing garlic I grated it and two small fresh pearl onions from the garden. It took about 45 minutes to bake. Not bad at all. Maybe more salt or cheese.

I'm wanting to make this recipe, but am thinking of adding some hamburger (lean)..cooked & drained to it. 1/2 C. Oil seems like a bit much...I'd only use 1/4 C. This weekend..Yes! Hmmmm..wonder how pork sausage (cooked & drained)would taste for brunch? Applesauce.....Yuck! This a savory fish. I think it would taste terrible !

Reviewed on Jul. 17, 2012 by savealotgal

Not rating yet. I am a former caterer. The 1/2 cup oil equals out to 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp per serving. This recipe serves 6. It seems like a lot but I would have to make it in order to see how much I would reduce the amount of oil or not. It may add additional flavor and moisture to the dish. Many of the recipes to make Bisquick biscuits call for no fat added to as little as 3 Tablespoons and as much as 1 cup for 2-3 cups of the mix.

As for replacing the oil with applesauce, that may give a sweetness I am not looking for in a savory dish.

Looking at the ingredient list I personally may not use that much oil. I will bake two and taste them side by side. One I will do as directed. The other my variation and report to you my evaluation. I do not usually use box mixes but I am curious. Hope this helps.

I wonder if the folks who made felt that it tasted too oily?

Reviewed on Jul. 17, 2012 by asnunez

Not rating this time but I've got a serious question. Is the recipe correct in reading "1/2 cup Canola Oil"?

Reviewed on Jul. 17, 2012 by Tinaschwab

We love zucchini so this recipes was definitely a must-try. One thing I hate is biting into a piece of undercooked onion. I grated the onion instead of chopping it. It allows for the onion flavor and insures it will cook completely.

This sounds great for the over abundance of Zucchini. One additional thought, why add the oil? Could one not just add 'applesauce' and spray the top with Pam? That would cut the calories and 'brown' the top. Let me hear from you.
