Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini (thinking you could use yellow squash or especially the white patty pan squash)
- 1/2 pound ground beef, bulk Italian sausage, or a breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/8 teaspoon dill weed (think I would use a tablespoon full of fresh parsley)
- 1 cup spaghetti sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (original recipe says cheddar, I would use mozzarella or provolone)
Directions
-
Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4 inch shell
-
Chop pulp; set pulp and shells aside.
-
In a skillet, brown meat, onion and garlic; drain. Add pulp, bread crumbs, milk and dill.
-
Spoon into zucchini shells.
-
Place in a greased 2 quart baking dish.
-
Top with spaghetti sauce; sprinkle with cheese.
-
Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes or until zucchini is tender.

This would go great with a side of Garlic Spaghetti, recipe also in this book.
