Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini

  • 1 pound ground beef

  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft.

  4. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute.

  5. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain any fat.

  6. Add diced tomatoes, scooped zucchini bits, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 5 minutes until the mix thickens.

  7. Place zucchini halves in a baking dish. Spoon beef mixture into each zucchini boat.

  8. Top with cheese.

Notes

These also work great with ground turkey, sausage, or even a meatball-style filling. Freeze extras in an airtight container for quick weeknight meals. You can prep these a day ahead and bake when ready.
