Ingredients
- 4 large zucchini (about 1 ¼ lbs), trimmed

Steps
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Using the large holes on a box grater, grate the zucchini into a large bowl. (You should get about 8 cups.)
- Add the rice, milk, and ¾ cup cheese to zucchini and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer zucchini mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with foil. Bake 50–60 min., until rice is tender, stirring halfway through.
