Meatless Zucchini Enchilada Casserole

However, the key ingredient is Classico Family Favorites Traditional Sauce. Surprised? With just a couple of additional spices, it makes a great enchilada sauce.

To prepare for our “Meatless Monday” dinner, I went to Walmart to pick up all the ingredients, including the Classico  Family Favorites Traditional Sauce, which was easy to find on the aisle with the spaghetti sauce.  With an abundance of fresh zucchini, I wanted to use zucchini slices instead of tortillas in a vegetarian enchilada casserole.

With fresh zucchini, corn, black beans, cheese, Classico  Family Favorites Traditional Sauce, and chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic, this Meatless Zucchini Enchilada Sauce Casserole is delicious and can feed a crowd, or have leftovers for future meals. For another vegetarian casserole, try my Chile Relleno Casserole.

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, combine the black beans, corn, green onions, cilantro, oregano, garlic powder, 1/2 of the chili powder, and 1/2 of the cumin. In another bowl, mix together the pasta sauce, chili powder, and cumin. Spread a thin layer of over the bottom of the baking dish (approximately one fifth of the total amount). Layer with a 3-4 zucchini slices, covering the bottom of the pan. On top of the layer of zucchini, spread about one third of the bean mixture. Layer evenly with about one quarter of the remaining pasta sauce. Sprinkle with one quarter of the cheese.
  • Repeat the layering process two times more (zucchini, beans, pasta sauce, cheese, zucchini, beans, pasta sauce, cheese). The last layer will be zucchini, pasta sauce, and cheese. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake 35-45 minutes, or until the zucchini are tender and cooked through. Remove the foil from the top and bake 5 minutes more, until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

    Have you ever had a problem with this getting watery because of the zucchini? Seems I’ve had trouble with watery zucchini in past dishes. I was wondering because the directions say to cover it tightly with aluminum foil. 🙂 Thanks in advance.

      Yes. That is a possibility. Be sure to drain and pat dry the zucchini. Also salt it. Cover with Aluminum foil part way through and remove it for the second half. I hope that helps.

    I am not sure if you checked the instructions. It reads: Repeat the layering process two times more (zucchini, beans, pasta sauce, cheese, noodles, beans, etc. I don’t see that there is noodles in the recipe. Did you forget to mention the noodles or is this a type-0?

      Hi Marie, Thanks for bringing that to my attention and the instructions were corrected to read zucchini instead of noodles.

    Can this be frozen or will it be too watery when it defrosts?
