{Copycat} Trader Joe’s Zucchini Alfredo Casserole

zucchini-alfredo-casserole-2A few weeks ago I made a quick stop at Trader Joe’s and they were handing out samples of a delicious Zucchini Alfredo Casserole. I had all of my kids with me and they all loved it, especially my two year old. He ate his and most of mine. I knew immediately that I had to recreate this dish at home.

The lady handing out the samples was kind enough to tell me what was in it, so I gathered up the ingredients and made it for our family the next Sunday. We loved it.

It’s a very basic and simple recipe. All you need are some sliced zucchini (I like a mix of zucchini and yellow squash), some alfredo sauce, panko bread crumbs and a little lemon pepper.

zucchini-alfredo-casserole-If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s near you don’t worry. You can just use your favorite Alfredo sauce, although I gotta say, theirs is delicious!

This Zucchini Alfredo Casserole makes a great side dish, or you could add some diced chicken in there and make it a meal. I love that it is simple to throw together and can be tossed in the oven and forgotten for an hour or so. I have a serious love for chop, toss and bake recipes. Give it a try, I bet you’ll love it too!

    Made this the other night and it was pretty good, just wish I had bought a better alfredo sauce. Not a fan of the Emeril one I tried.

      Good to know, sometimes it really makes a difference what brand of sauce.

      Yes! Just wait to put the bread crumbs on until right before you cook it!
