Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.
