How To Make ~ zucchini boats ~ cassies
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 425 degree F. Drizzle some olive oil over the outside and inside of the prepared raw zucchini and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and reduce oven to 350 degree. In a medium skillet, over medium heat, cook the beef, sausage, onion and garlic until no pink remains in meat. Remove from heat and drain. Add meat to a medium bowl. Stir in beaten eggs, tomato, parsley, Bread crumbs, Romano cheese, salt, garlic salt, pepper, olives, Italian seasoning and spaghetti sauce seasoning. Stuff each zucchini halve with 1/4 of the meat mixture. Place on a jelly roll pan. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Spread 1/4 cup sauce on each halve and place 2 slices of mozzarella cheese evenly on each halve. Place back into oven and bake another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.
