MEAT LOAF STUFFED ZUCCHINI



Meat Loaf Stuffed Zucchini image

I CAME UP WITH this recipe after being challenged to find different ways to cook this plentiful summer vegetable. At first, I decided to add zucchini to my meat loaf recipe...then it occurred to me to reverse the process and put the meat loaf into the zucchini! It was an instant hit. -Ruth Fluckiger, Tolland, Connecticut

ZUCCHINI MEAT LOAF BOATS



Zucchini Meat Loaf Boats image

These are very fun. Good for kids, but my husband loved these. Individual meat loaf servings in a scooped out zucchini boat!

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 5

- your favorite meatloaf recipe mixture
- zucchinis (enough to fill with the meatloaf mixture)
- garlic salt
- spaghetti sauce
- mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • It's hard to say exactly how many zucchinis to get because you insert your favorite meatloaf recipe and I'm not sure how much that calls for.
  • Halve zucchinis and scoop out the center with a spoon and arrange on a baking sheet. They should look like little boats (or you could probably grill these if you wanted to, but I bake them.)
  • Sprinkle garlic salt on zucchinis. Put in uncooked meatloaf mixture. Pour spaghetti sauce over the top and sprinkle mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake about 45 minutes in 350 degree oven.
