See how easy it is to make this zucchini cheesy rice for a fun side dish on gracefullittlehoneybee.com

  I’m an avid gardener, which means I deal with a LOT of zucchini. Zucchini is one of those crops that yields a TON of produce per plant and if you’re not careful you just might end up with more than you intended. Last summer we had a bumper crop and I was forced to find new ways to use the stuff besides in my delicious Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread or my Greek Yogurt Zucchini Bread.

 

  Enter this recipe. I made it over and over last summer because it was so easy and good! My kids didn’t even know they were eating zucchini and everyone loved it. Give it a try. I know you’ll love it too.

  1. Is the Zucchini cooked when you add, do you cook it after all the ingredients are added together, it or is it uncooked? Sorry, I am confused, but this does sound like a great and easy recipe.

  3. Oh my, I love this recipe, but also plan to make it using cauliflower rice! I really have to watch the high glycerin foods & starchy carbs. Love your site & FB page! Thank you!

  4. Have you tried making this recipe with zucchini that has been shredded then frozen? I always end up with so much extra zucchini I shred it and freeze it in 2 cup portions for use over the winter. Just wondering if you think that would work after it was thawed out
