Zucchini, Ham and Rice Casserole

We have a few abnormally large zucchini fruits from our garden.  Oops!  It’s been hard to keep out the garden with our 7.5 month old Little Chef this summer, but we’ve sure tried.

When we do get out there to harvest, we often find overgrown zucchini.  This recipe was perfect for using them up!
