Stuffed Zucchini

• 2 large zucchini, halved and hollowed out
• 3 red bell peppers, halved and cleaned
• 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
• 1 pound Chorizo
• 4 sweet onions, chopped
• 1 large head cauliflour, riced
• 5 tablespoons tomato paste
• 30 ounces cans low salt black beans
• 3 tablespoons fennel seeds
• 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• 20 ounces jar tomato sauce
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1. Place peppers and zucchini on parchment covered baking sheet. Spray and drizzle with EVOO. Roast at 400F for 20 minutes. Remove, drain, and cool.
2. Lightly caramelize onions in EVOO. Remove and reserve.
3. Brown the combined meats, adding half of the fennel seeds and seasoning near the end.
4. Add the onions, beans, and tomato paste. Heat and mix thoroughly. Add the remaining fennel seeds and seasoning.
5. Line the bottom of a baking dish with 1 cup of sauce. Load up the zucchinis with the fillings and place in the dish. Spoon the sauce over the top.
6. Top with some seasoning. Bake uncovered at 350F for 25 minutes.
7. Top with 0.5 c Mexican blend and 0.5 c cheddar cheese. Bake for another 10 minutes.
8. Peppers can be prepared exactly the same way.
9. One way for reheating the leftover stuffing: place some spiced up pizza sauce onto an oiled piece of pita (Joseph's Low Carb, Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat) , topped with cheese and heated for 20 minutes at 350F.
