This recipe can be adapted to what you have on hand. I will write the recipe as I made it. It can be doubled or even tripled. A great way to use the zucchini that is plentiful and inexpensive this time of year.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Yield: 3 stuffed zucchini halves
Source: A combination of several recipes
Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/2 zucchini
- 1/2 lb ground meat
- oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 small rib of celery, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 green pepper, chopped
- 1 small tomato, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- Italian seasoning to taste
- 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
- Grated mozzarella cheese to sprinkle on zucchini halves
Steps:
- Cut the zucchini lengthwise. Scoop out seeds, leaving a hole to stuff later.
- Chop all your other vegetables.
- Heat oil in a skillet. Sauté the meat and vegetables. Break up the meat into small pieces.
- Add the bread crumbs and the Parmesan cheese.
- Stuff the holes of the zucchini with the mixture. If you have too much filling, like I did, put it in an ovenproof dish. Cover with foil.
- Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes.
- Take off the foil. Top the zucchini halves with mozzarella cheese. Put back in the oven until the cheese melts and is bubbly.
