  • 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Slice zucchini and sprinkle with salt; let sit in a colander for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.

  4. In an 8×8 baking dish, layer half of the beef mixture, half of the zucchini slices, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers.
