1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

6. Repeat the layers with the remaining zucchini, beef mixture, and cheddar cheese.
7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream if desired.
