Delicious side dish! Healthier than traditional mac and cheese but just as tasty!
1 Zucchini; large
1 cup mild Cheddar cheese; grated
1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese; grated
3 tablespoons Butter
1 tablespoon garlic; minced
1 Jalapeno pepper; finely chopped
Salt & pepper; to taste
1 tablespoon onion flakes
Melt butter in a large frying pan. Grate zucchini into pan and cook at a medium temperature until it is soft and mushy. Stirring occasionally.
Add the cheese and stir until melted.
Add the jalapeno, garlic, onion flakes and salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring often to keep the cheese from sticking to the bottom.
Note
We often experiment with different kinds of cheeses (pepper jack, mozzarella, etc). You can use more or less cheese to suit your taste and also add many different toppings. Sometimes we even add sausage!
