Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

½ zucchini, thinly sliced
½ pound ground beef
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 cup crushed potato chips
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
6 slices American cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ cup water

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Arrange the zucchini in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared dish. Season the ground beef with the salt and pepper; spread gently over the layer of zucchini. Sprinkle the crushed potato chips over the beef. Scatter the jalapeno pepper over the chips. Place the cheese slices in a single layer atop the chips and jalapeno peppers.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese begins to melt, about 5 minutes; sprinkle the basil over the cheese and return to oven for another 5 minutes. Pour the water into the casserole dish; continue baking until the ground beef is cooked through entirely, about 35 minutes.
