Lavon and Miss NiNi talk about Zucchini
Zucchini BoatsPIZZA ZUCCHINI BOATS
  • 4 zucchini or yellow squash
  • 3/4 pound sausage or ground beef
  • 1 can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained or pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove stems ends and cut each squash in half lengthwise. Trim a thin strip on bottom if it doesn’t sit flat. Scoop out flesh, leaving a 1/4” shell. Pat dry. Dice flesh that was removed.
In a large skillet, cook meat and diced squash until browned and cooked through. Drain mixture. Add tomatoes or sauce & 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese; mix well.
Fill boats with mixture; place on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake 20 minutes; remove from oven to sprinkle on remaining cheese. Bake until cheese is melted.
Bake time will vary with size/thickness of squash.
Try wrapping each boat in foil to cook on the grill.
