ZUCCHINI (COURGETTE) AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE

Zucchini (courgette) and mushroom casserole image

My grandmother and I came up with this recipe when I was about 15. I liked to cook and she loved showing me new things. We wanted something different and these ingredients we just happened to have in the house or garden. We were both totally suprised at how great it really was. It quickly became a family favorite.
