Stuffed zucchini

Okay, if you have a garden, you are probably familiar with the feeling of, "What can I do with all this zucchini???"

Here's an easy way to make a quick dinner featuring this prolific squash--stuffed zucchini!

It's so easy! 

First, pick your zucchinis and slice off the ends, then slice in half lengthwise.

Oh yeah, wash them first!!

Next, start cooking some onions and hamburger (with a little salt and pepper)

While you're waiting for the meat to cook, scoop out the inside seedy part of the zucchinis

Then chop that inner part up to add to your burger mixture.
  

Next you add (to the skillet) whatever else you have in season or in your fridge or canning shelves that you think would taste good with it!  Tonight I added some tomatoes that we canned from last year's garden.

Cook this till the meat is done and the veggies are softened.

Place the scooped-out zucchinis onto a foil-covered cookie sheet and fill with the meat mixture.

Cover with foil and place in the oven--bake at 400 degrees F for 40 minutes.

After 40 minutes, take off the foil and sprinkle the stuffed zucchinis with cheese of your choosing (we used sharp cheddar tonight!)  Return to the oven for 5 or 6 minutes to melt the cheese.

Next take out...and eat!!!  Yummm!!!  Enjoy! :)
