Ground Beef Zucchini Bake (Low Carb)

• Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease.
• Pat the zucchini dry thoroughly to prevent a watery casserole.
• Add sliced mushrooms or spinach for extra vegetables.
• Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting results.
• Let the casserole rest before serving to help it hold its shape.
