Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini about 8 inches long
- 1/2 pound (227 g) ground beef
- 1/2 small red onion chopped
- 6 button mushrooms chopped
- 1/4 cup (37 g) red bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup (113 g) shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.75 g) garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- Trim the ends off zucchini. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out the center, leaving 1/2 inch around the edges. Reserve the insides for another dish, or chop it into small pieces to add to the filling.
- Place the zucchini boats in a greased 9” x 13” baking dish. Bake them in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook the beef, zucchini pulp, onion, mushrooms and peppers over medium heat until the meat is browned. Remove from the heat. Add 1/2 cup cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Remove the zucchini from the oven. Spoon the filling into the zucchini shells, pressing it down to compact. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, on 375°F for 10-15 minutes.
