Stuffed Zucchini Boats!

My 14 month old is notorious for not liking meat, but he surprisingly loves the meat in this dish.  It is healthy and full of flavor which I love.

Ingredients:

3-4 Zucchini
2 pints of Juliette Tomatoes
Feta Cheese
Grated Parmesan Cheese
Diced Tomatoes
1 lb of Ground Beef, Turkey, or Sausage
2 Garlic Cloves
1 medium Onion
Italian Seasoning

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Blend the tomatoes, garlic, and onion in a blender.  Add Italian seasoning as needed to enhance the flavor of the tomato sauce.  Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take any out once you've added it.

Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise.  Then, take a spoon and scoop out the inside of the zucchini to create "boats" out of the leftover shell.  Chop the part of the zucchini you scooped out.

Brown the Ground beef in a pan on the stove top.  Once it is brown, and you've drained any liquid you need drained, add the tomato mixture as well as the inside parts of the zucchini you chopped up. I cooked this mixture on the stove-top at med-high until it started to bubble.  Once it bubbled, I turned it down to about 3-4 and let it continue to cook for about 30 minutes.  The zucchini should be tender.  Taste the sauce and add seasoning as needed.  Also add some grated parmesan.

Once the mixture is complete, place the zucchini boats onto an sheet pan.  Fill them with the tomato and meat mixture.  Top them with grated parmesan and feta.

Bake the zucchini boats for 20 minutes. Then, Enjoy!!

These are delicious, and the best part is my little man loves eating these!  It's a win for everyone!  The food is delicious, and my little guy is finally eating meat and loving it!

  Happy Eating!!
