Stuffed Zucchini

Ingredients

• 1-2 large zucchini (10-12 inches long – you want them to be big enough to have a reasonable seed cavity)
• 2 lbs ground beef
• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1 medium onion
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 tsp granulated garlic
• salt and pepper to taste
• Seasoned salt
• 1 cup shredded cheese

Directions

1. Cook ground beef with finely chopped onion, garlic, salt and pepper.
2. Mix rice, ground beef and soup mix together.
3. Peel the zucchini and cut it in half lengthwise then remove the seeds and place in a 9×13 pan.
4. Generously season the zucchini with seasoned salt.
5. Spoon in meat/rice/soup mixture into the hollowed out zucchini. The zucchini should be nearly overflowing with the stuffing.
6. Layer shredded cheese over the top.
7. Cover with foil and bake at 350° for one hour. The zucchini should be tender.
8. Remove the cover and bake another 15 minutes to let the cheese top get a bit crispy.
