Zucchini and Cornbread Casserole
After a tiring day, there’s nothing better than returning home to a delicious meal like Cheesy Zucchini Cornbread Casserole. I have always valued comfort food because of my childhood in the Midwest. The delicious flavor of cornbread combines with the freshness of zucchini in this dish, topped with melted cheese. Staying in for the night, having a potluck, or enjoying a meal with family would all be great times to do this. Moreover, it’s a great way to make use of any additional zucchini you have acquired at the market or from your garden.
To make it easy, this meal is great with a basic green salad or cooked vegetables. Serve it with grilled chicken or a tasty roast for a more filling meal. If you like it really spicy, put some hot sauce or sour cream on it!

Advice and Different Options
To give it more flavor, include chopped jalapeños or a bit of cayenne pepper in the batter.
Use mozzarella or a mix of Mexican cheeses instead of cheddar if you prefer.
To make a lower-carb option, substitute almond flour for regular flour.
To make a vegan version, use your preferred non-dairy milk and cheese alternatives. Use flax eggs instead of regular eggs. To make one flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water.
