¼ tsp ground black pepper
8 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded

Preheat oven 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
In a large bowl, add and mix zucchini, onion, eggs, muffin mix, salt, and pepper. Stir in 4 ounces of the cheese. Spread this mixture into a greased 2-quart casserole dish, top with the remaining 4 ounces of cheese.
Bake for 60 minutes in a preheated oven.
Note:
I must mention for you who don’t know about preparing zucchini for cooking — baking in particular. Zucchinis are very watery, so make sure you plan yours, so you don’t end up with a soggy mess. I sliced my zucchini, put it in a sink colander, then light salted the zucchini shreds to remove the extra water.
