Zucchini Boats

Zucchini Boats can be used as a main course but I think

I would rather use them as a side dish or appetizer.  Lots

of different ingredients can be used.  My recipe was based

 on what I happened to have in the kitchen today.

Recipe:  Four zucchini

1/2 cup cooked ground beef

1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

1/2 cup pasta sauce

1 egg

1/4 cup bread crumbs

1/4 cup chopped green pepper

1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning

Salt and pepper

Shredded cheese

 Slice zucchini in half and chop off the stem.

 Score the zucchini to make it easier to scoop out pulp.

Use a spoon to hollow out the zucchini to 1/4 inch thickness.

 I cooked the tomato, green pepper and zucchini pulp in a

pan with olive oil, for a few minutes.  Then mixed all the

ingredients in a bowl.  The recipe can easily be changed

to suit your taste.  Meat is optional.

 Arrange boats in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees

for 30 minutes.  Top with your favorite cheese and let it

melt on top for a minute, in the oven.

 You can pick them up like a hot dog and eat.
