Ingredients
* Zucchini, baby, 4 large * Ground beef, 400 grams * Onions, raw, 1 small * Broccoli, fresh, 1 spear (about 5" long) * Hard Boiled Egg, 2 large * Tomato Sauce, 1.5 cup * Pepper, black, 1 dash * Salt, 1 dash * Garlic powder, 1 tsp * Basil, 1 leaves * Cheddar or Colby Cheese, Low Fat, 3 slice (1 oz)
1. Preheat the oven with the grill.
2. Peel the zucchinis and cut them in half.
3. Put the zucchinis inside the oven for 20 minutes or untill you see they are tender.
4. Clean the broccoli and boil it for 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, cut the onion and fry it in a big pan or a casserole. Spice the meat and mix it with the onion.
6. When the beef is golden brown, add the tomato sauce and salt it.
7. Drain the broccoli and mix it with the beef. Add the hard boiled eggs cutted in pieces.
8. Take the zucchinis out of the oven and let them cool down. (Don't switch off the oven yet, you'll need it to grill the cheese later). Once you can touch the zucchinis without getting burned, empty the central part with a teaspoon.
9. Fill the hollow with the beef mixed.
10. Add the cheese in strips and put it in the oven (grill) for 5 minutes.

Quite tasty, although I would recommend NOT peeling the zucchini - leave them whole, the skin is very good for you. I baked the zuchini at 350, the recipe does not state a temp. I think next time I will try just plain beef and onions with velveeta cheese.... very yummy and versitle recipe! - 6/29/09

I hope you and your family family like it =)
It's also a practical dish because you can stuff the zucchinis with lots of different things. If you don't have one ingredient, you can add anything you have in the fridge and it'll taste good aswell or even better!
