    * Onions, raw, 1 small
    * Broccoli, fresh, 1 spear (about 5" long)
    * Hard Boiled Egg, 2 large

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.

    Awesome! I didn't peel the zucchini and used feta cheese instead of Colby cheese and it turned out delicious. I will try it next time with crumbled tofu instead of the beef to satisfy my vegetarian friends! - 2/20/12

    Great way to use my garden vegetables! Delicious! I skipped the eggs though since I am not a fan of eggs, and I did not peel the zucchini. Thanks for sharing! - 7/12/09

    Soo good! I also left the skin on. As for the bake temp, I put it to broil/grill. Soo good and will try stuffed peppers with the same filling from this recipe. - 6/30/09

    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!
