Zucchini Cups


Ingredients:
Several Large Zucchini 
1/2 cup chopped onion
Olive oil 
1 lb. ground beef
spaghetti sauce (I used the previous spaghetti sauce recipe from this blog)
grated mild cheddar and monteray jack cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut zucchini into sections, discarding ends. Use knife or a sharp spoon to hollow out the middle of the zucchini sections. Leave about 1/4 inch of the zucchini flesh around the edges. (If hollowed out too close, the cups will leak when cooked.) Set aside the zucchini pieces that are hollowed out. Put zucchini pieces in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and microwave for approximately 8 minutes or until soft. Saute chopped onions in olive oil and brown ground beef in a skillet;drain fat. After preparing your spaghetti sauce in a pot, add ground beef, onions and zucchini pieces to the sauce. Spoon mixture into the hollowed out zucchini cups. Top each cup with grated mild cheddar and monteray jack cheese. Bake zucchini cups in oven for approximately 20 minutes or until zucchini is slightly soft.
Enjoy!
