Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1 1/2 quart baking dish (or 8 x 8 inch) with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Cut bacon into small pieces and fry until crisp in a skillet; remove the bacon bits, leaving the grease in the pan.

Step 3

Saute diced onions in the bacon grease until tender. Add undrained tomatoes, salt, pepper, and dried basil. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4

In the prepared dish, layer half the zucchini, half the tomato mixture, then repeat with the other half of both. Top with fried bacon pieces.

Step 5

Cover tightly with foil, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and a half or until the zucchini is fork tender. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
