Zucchini & Bacon Dish


12 ounces zucchini, shredded ($0)
1 large onion, chopped finely ($.50)
6 -8 ounces lean bacon, in 1/2-inch dice ($.50)
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated ($1)
1 cup self-raising flour ($.25)
1/4 cup oil (olive oil is tasty) ($.25)
5 eggs, slightly beaten with black pepper (see next item) ($.40)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper


1 You can use a food processor to grate the cheese and zucchini, and chop the onion.

2 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

3 In a large bowl, combine all ingredients -- in the order listed. Mix well after each addition.

4 Put everything in an 11" x 7" pan. A 9" x 13" pan works, too.

5 Bake for 40-45 minutes (may take up to an hour), or until golden brown.

6 Check the bottom. It sometimes browns faster

Serve with breadsticks and a salad.

*if you don't have self-rising flour, just use 1 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 T baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt.

Total Cost: $3.00
