Mashed Cheddar Chili Zucchini

This was a tasty side dish and a great way to use up extra zucchini.  The picture is ugly, but it's tasty and easy

Mashed Cheddar Chili Zucchini

 

1/2 tablespoon canola oil or cooking spray

2-3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced

1 medium onion, sliced thin

1 4-ounce can diced green chiles, drained

1/4 teaspoon salt

pepper, to taste

1/2 cup grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini and onion; stir to coat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft and lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in chiles and salt; cook until heated through, 1 minute more.

Mash until chunky. Stir in cheese and serve immediately.
