Chopped green chilies give this summer side dish lots of zip - a popular flavor around Mom's Arizona home. It's a tasty way to use up a bounty of garden vegetables. -Karen Wingate, Coldwater, Kansas

I had to eat a lot of zucchini as a child...so I confess that it has not been one of my favorite vegetables. But when I found this recipe, it changed my mind. The combination of zucchini with the tomato and green chilies along with the seasonings makes a great-flavored side dish. Substituting parmesan cheese for the cheddar or Monterey Jack works great too.

Good, but it might not even the cheese.

I substituted red and orange bell peppers for the tomato, used olive oil instead of the vegetable oil, and added yellow summer squash. The result was fabulous! My whole family loved it, and have already requested for future meals.
