Servings:

Cooking Time:

Ingredients:

• 2 large Zucchini
• 1 ½ tsp Oil
• ½ cup Onion, diced
• 1 tsp Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Jalapeno, diced
• ½ cup Tomatoes
• 1 ½ cups Bread crumbs
• 1 tbsp Chili powder
• ¾ cup Monterey jack, grated
• Salsa

Instructions:

• Split the squash lengthwise and scrap out most of the pulp and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the diced onion and garlic and saute until just soft.
• Add in the remaining ingredients and the reserved pulp and remove from heat.
• Stuff the squash shells with the mixture.
• Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until lightly browned.

Usually served as a side dish, but it can be expanded and served with rice for an entree. For those living in households where some eat meat, simply add ground beef or sirloin to the stuffing and make 2 batches.
