I love this recipe - it's so great - even my 8 month old son ate this! I just peeled some of the skin off the zucchini and he loved it all - even the filling! Very yummy. You can use any cheese for the top - I use what I have on hand - you can easily cut this recipe in half - I have - enjoy!

Fast, easy stuffed zucchini. I make this in the summer when the zucchini are fresh and abundant. It makes a great light meal with some fresh bread to mop up the sauce, or as a side dish. This recipe is easily doubled!

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ pound ground beef
1 large zucchini, ends trimmed
½ cup bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
½ (6 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cook and stir the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until the meat is browned, breaking the beef up into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Drain off excess fat, and transfer the beef into a mixing bowl. Slice the zucchini in half the long way, and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch thick shell all around the zucchini. Chop the scooped-out zucchini flesh, and add to mixing bowl. Stir in the bread crumbs, garlic, spaghetti sauce, black olives, and Parmesan cheese; mix the stuffing well. Lightly stuff both halves of the zucchini with the meat mixture. Place the zucchini halves into a baking dish, and cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, remove from oven, and remove the foil. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over each zucchini half. Move an oven rack to within 6 inches of the oven broiler's heat source, turn on the broiler, and broil the zucchini until the mozzarella cheese is browned and bubbling, about 5 minutes.
