In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the onion, breaking up the meat as it cooks until no longer pink. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Add the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, beef bouillon, crushed red pepper, and fire roasted tomatoes (do not drain tomatoes). Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Incorporate the zucchini and simmer for an additional 10 minutes until the zucchini start to soften.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top, lower the heat, and cover the skillet with a lid for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
