2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Black pepper, add as much as you want
# Steps:
01 -
Take off the foil and let it cook for another 10 to 15 minutes so the cheese gets that bubbly, golden top.
02 -
Lay foil loosely over your baking dish and bake everything for 25 minutes.
03 -
Spoon half of your beef-zucchini mix into the dish. Sprinkle on a layer of mozzarella, then pile the rest of the mixture and top it with the last of the cheese.
04 -
Add in your diced zucchini and tomato sauce. Toss in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Give it five minutes to hang out until the veggies soften up a bit.
05 -
Toss in the chopped onion and garlic. Let it cook until the onions look clear, around 3 to 5 minutes.
06 -
Heat a bit of olive oil in a big pan on medium. Toss in the ground beef and stir it around till it’s all browned and crumbly.
07 -
Get the oven hot at 190°C.
