In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the onion, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until no longer pink. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Add garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, beef bouillon, red pepper flakes, and undrained tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Incorporate the zucchini and simmer for an additional 10 minutes until they start to soften.
Top the mixture with shredded mozzarella, reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts. Serve hot.
