Ingredients

6 zucchini
3 cups ORE-IDA Diced Hash Brown Potatoes
2 Tbsp. oil
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar (24 oz.) CLASSICO Traditional Sweet Basil Pasta Sauce, divided
2 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
1 pkg. (8 oz.) KRAFT Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese, divided
1/2 cup hot water

Steps:

Heat oven to 350ºF.
Cut zucchini lengthwise in half; scoop out and discard centers, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells.
Cook potatoes in hot oil in large skillet on medium heat 12 to 15 min., stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, brown meat in separate large skillet. Add onions, peppers and garlic; cook 3 min. Drain; stir in potatoes, 1/2 cup pasta sauce, seasoning and 1-1/2 cups cheese.
Mix hot water and remaining pasta sauce; divide evenly onto bottoms of 2 (13x9-inch) baking dishes. Spoon about 1/2 cup meat mixture into each zucchini shell. Place stuffed zucchini in baking dishes; cover with foil. Bake 30 min.
Remove foil; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 10 min. or until zucchini is tender.
