Stuffed Zucchini

This one is not as easy as the last! I say that and its not that its hard, its just got alot of steps and is time consuming.

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour

8-10 zucchini
2 tbsp. oil
1 onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. hamburger
1 can tomato sauce
3 eggs, well beaten
1/2 lb. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. oregano
1 c. bread crumbs
1/4 lb. grated Jack cheese

 

See! I told you there is alot to it, but it is SO worth it in the end!

 

Here is what you do:

 

Boil zucchini about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool. After cool, split in half and scoop out center, reserving center. In skillet, saute oil, onion, garlic and hamburger until meat is brown.
Then add squash centers, tomato sauce, eggs, cheese, salt, thyme, and oregano. Stir and simmer 5 to 7 minutes. Then add bread crumbs.
Arrange squash on foil covered cookie sheets. Sprinkle Jack cheese over each squash, then fill with stuffing mix and sprinkle with more Jack cheese. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.

A few tips:
1. Start your water boiling first. While you are waiting for it to boil cut up onions and garlic, grate the cheese, beat the eggs, measure out all the ingredients, etc.
2. Grate your our cheese! Remember cheaper and melts better!
3. Something I didn't do this time but will do next time,make sure you rotate the zucchini while boiling. I will also make sure the centers are mixed up better!
