I had never tried stuffed zucchini before and this was a great way to start. I definitely will make this again. My husband has to eat gluten free so I used his bread and added seasoning for the bread crumbs. It was very tasty.

MY KIDS ONLY ATE THE FILLING, BUT THEY LOVED IT! I COOKED IT ALL IN THE OVEN,NOT THE MICROWAVE. I ALSO ADDED OREGANO AND DRIED BASIL AND GARLIC.THE KIDS WANT IT AGAIN (FOR THE FILLING!) SO I WILL MAKE IT AGAIN.

I made this recipe with the following changes: I used 6 small yellow squash in place of zucchini, and instead of microwaving for the final step, put in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes (it worked better with my meal timing). Good weeknight recipe with lots of room for easy variations.

Really good! A filling dinner but not full of starch, we just loved it. I cut up the zucchini pulp and fried it with the beef and onions, added some herbs, otherwise did the recipe as stated. Very yummy, and quick! We're having the other half of the recipe tomorrow night, can't wait :)

** Added 1/4 CUP mild diced tomatoes w/ green chiles. Also did bake it at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes after the microwave to "toast" the cheese some. Was fantastic!
Absolutely delicious. My husband ate 4 of the halves and demanded to have the leftovers for lunch the next day! I added 1/4 mild diced tomatoes w/ green chiles and seasoned the beef with basil, oregano, garlic pepper, and parsley before cooking it. This will be a regular meal for us now!
