Stuffed Zucchini
- 3 whole Zucchini
- 1 pound Lean Ground Beef
- 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 whole Small Onion, Diced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Italian Herbs
- 1 whole Lemon Juice Of
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Pepper
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Tomato Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian Herbs
- Prepare a large pot of boiling salted water.
- I like to parboil the zucchini to reduce the amount of liquid it gives off while baking.
- It keeps the filling from being too soggy and prevents a layer of liquid from forming between the zucchini and filling.
- Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and put into the pot of water for 10 minutes.
- After they are parboiled for 10 minutes pull them out and let them cool until you can handle them.
- Scoop out the zucchini, leaving a boat for your filling.
- Dice the zucchini you scooped out of the boat and let it drain or squeeze it out.
- Combine the diced zucchini, ground beef, mayonnaise, onion, salt, 1 tablespoon Italian herbs, 1/2 of the lemon juice and the pepper.
- Mix it well it will be a bit sloppy.
- In a separate bowl mix the can of tomato sauce with the other half of the lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of Italian herbs.
- Set aside.
- Put the shells on a lined baking sheet and fill them with the beef and zucchini mixture.
- Top with the tomato sauce mixture and bake for 45-50 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
