How to make Zucchini Squash Casserole Bake with ground meat:

Cook the ground meat starting in medium-high heat till it is cooking, then turn down to medium-low and cook it and break it down with a wooden utensil until all the pink is gone. Set the meat aside.

Then in the same pan (no need to wash pan) add 2 TBSP of cooking oil and onion and sauté for until less than semi-softened, then add in the mushrooms.

Add more oil if it seems dry. When the onion and mushrooms are semi-softened, add the crushed garlic, sage, basil and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute and mix well.

On the baking dish spread oil on the bottom. Cut the zucchini and squash about ¾ CM (centimeter) thick and spread on the bottom.

Evenly spread the ground meat, then the mushroom-onion mixture. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 45 – 60 minutes until zucchini and squash are softened. Then add cheese and broil until lightly browned for a few minutes.
