Simple Stuffed Zucchini
Ingredients List
-
½ pound ground beef
-
1 large zucchini, ends trimmed
-
1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
½ cup bread crumbs
-
½ (6 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Cooking Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a large skillet, heat over medium-high. Cook the ground beef, stirring occasionally, until browned and crumbled, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat, then transfer the beef to a large mixing bowl.
-
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/2 inch of zucchini shell. Chop the scooped-out flesh and add it to the beef mixture in the bowl.
-
Stir in spaghetti sauce, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, black olives, and garlic until well combined. Gently stuff each zucchini half with the filling. Place the stuffed zucchini halves into a baking dish and cover tightly with foil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Once done, remove the dish from the oven. Turn on the broiler and adjust the oven rack to within 6 inches of the heat source.
-
Uncover the dish and sprinkle each zucchini half with 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Broil for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted, browned, and bubbly.
