Number Of Ingredients 11

2-3 small zucchini squash (scooped out)
3-5 Tbsp finely chopped onion
3-5 Tbsp finely chopped bell pepper
3-5 Tbsp finely chopped celery and leaves
1-2 tsp garlic powder
2-4 Tbsp Italian bread crumbs
1/4 lb country pork sausage
1 egg
1 tsp all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp butter
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

1. I had 2 small zucchini that I scooped out the center.
2. Chop up what you've scooped out and place in a frying pan. Add the sausage, celery, onion, garlic powder, and bell pepper. Saute all of this until the sausage and vegetables are tender and the meat lightly brown.
3. Mix the flour and bread crumbs in with this mixture. Salt and pepper.
4. Wait a little while to let this set then mix the egg into this mixture. It shouldn't be really hot because it will fry the egg.
5. Add slices of butter to a small baking dish. Place the scooped out zucchini on top of the butter. Spoon the sausage mixture in it. Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 20 minutes or until you can tell that the large zucchini is tender.
6. Then add grated cheese on top and bake until it browns or bubbles.
7. Note: This recipe was created just for one or two people so you will need to increase measurements for a larger amount. This would be good with Italian sausage from the casing or hot country-style sausage. I just used what I had on hand that day and it turned out very delicious!
