Recipe: Stuffed Zucchini
2 lbs ground beef
1 onion, diced
2 large zucchini (mine were about 12″ each) or 4-6 small ones
2 TBSP chili powder
2 TBSP garlic salt
1 small cooked sweet potato, skinned
3 TBSP olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and heat oil in a large skillet. Add onion and cook until starting to brown. Meanwhile, cut ends off the zucchini and slice lengthwise down the middle. Scoop out the middle with a spoon or melon baller, and place insides into food processor. Pulse until the zucchini is in bits. Add ground beef, chili powder, and garlic salt to the skillet and cook until beef is browned. Add sweet potato and processed zucchini, turn off heat, and stir to combine. Place zucchini onto a foil-ined baking sheet and fill each zucchini with the meat mixture, then bake for 40 minutes.

PEG’S NOTES:
I added a little Feta cheese to the mixutre and I also sprinkled the tops with a little shredded Colby/jack cheese.
Try making this vegan….
Use black beans/kidney beans instead of the ground beef and omit the cheese.
