Ground Beef Stuffed Zucchini

SERVES 2

INGREDIENTS
2 large zucchini squash
8 oz lean ground beef*
1/4 c white onion diced
1 tbsp Kikkoman Roasted Garlic and Herb
2 tbsp Worcestershire
1/4 c bread crumbs
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp Tabasco sauce
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 - 1 cup water
2 tsp Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp Fried Onion Pieces*

foil

*Note: The Fried Onion Pieces I found a Trader Joes.... they are fantastic. Also, I purchased the ground beef there as well and it was 80/20 fat.


DIRECTIONS
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet add ground beef, break up with a wooden spoon and let it sit on medium heat for a few minutes.

2) Dice white onion and add to the skillet along with the Kikkoman, Worcestershire, bread crumbs, garlic powder, Tabasco, rosemary, and parsley. Mix with spoon and cook until there is no pink left, approximately 15 minutes.

3) Meanwhile, wash zucchini and slice in half length wise. Take a spoon and carve out the middle, so there are no more seeds and it looks like the shape of a boat. Place these in a baking dish (I used a 9x13 dish).

4) Taste the ground beef mixture, if you feel it needs more seasoning add more! You can never have enough. Next, add about 4 oz of the beef mixture to the zucchini boats to fill them. Next top them with the Parmesan and fried onions.

5) Put about 1/2-1 cup of water in the baking dish. Lightly cover with foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes. After the allotted time take off the foil and cook an addition 15 minutes or until zucchini looks nice and tender.

6) Let cool slightly and serve!
