When the man who does not like cooked zucchini says it is fantastic, that says a LOT.

Fantastic! Made a few slight changes by adding some rice and Italian sausage as suggested by others. Very tasty and easy to prepare. Definitely a keeper.

I added 1/4 pound spicy sausage and took out 1/4 pound hamburger. I added 1 tsp of pampered chef italian seasoning. I was apprehensive like one of the other reviewers, but really liked it!

I was a little apprehensive about a recipe that used the microwave so much but this turned out great, re-heated beautifully the next day as well.

Subbed Italian sausage and increased the amount of spaghetti sauce. Delicious!

This is a great way to get the kids to eat veggies! I substituted turkey for the beef and used cheddar. Quick, I'll make it again.

My daughter and I enjoyed this very much. I added some garlic and used a sausage based sauce which may be why I didn't see it as bland.

This was good but I made a few changes. I used seasoned ground turkey instead of hamburger and added cooked rice that I had in the fridge already. I halved 3 large zucchinis, removed the seeds, then mixed all of the other ingredients together (raw meat included) and stuffed the zucchini, topped with a little more marinara sauce, then baked them at 375 for about 45 minutes. I then topped with mozzarella cheese and baked a couple minutes more. Next time I'd add fresh garlic.
