Piggy-Iggy Casserole

• 1/2 zucchini, thinly sliced
• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 cup crushed potato chips
• 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
• 6 slices American cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 cup water

1. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
2. Arrange the zucchini in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared dish. Season the ground beef with the salt and pepper; spread gently over the layer of zucchini. Sprinkle the crushed potato chips over the beef. Scatter the jalapeno pepper over the chips. Place the cheese slices in a single layer atop the chips and jalapeno peppers.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese begins to melt, about 5 minutes; sprinkle the basil over the cheese and return to oven for another 5 minutes. Pour the water into the casserole dish; continue baking until the ground beef is cooked through entirely, about 35 minutes.
