Preheat oven to 400°F.
2
In a colander, place shredded zucchini and sprinkle it with salt. Let it stand for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then squeeze the zucchini to remove excess liquid.
3
In a large bowl, combine zucchini, eggs, Parmesan cheese, and 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese.
4
Evenly press the zucchini mixture into a greased 13x9-inch baking dish.
5
Bake for 20 minutes.
6
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat, crumbling the beef, until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
7
Stir marinara sauce into the beef and onion mixture.
8
Remove the zucchini bake from the oven and evenly spoon the beef mixture over the zucchini layer.
9
Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese on top and cover with chopped bell pepper.
10
Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
11
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Optionally, store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for later use following the original recipe directions.
