This was AMAZING! My husband and three KIDS loved it (and they are picky eaters!)

These were divine! We had tons of stuffing left over, so make sure your zucchinis are medium-large. We just put the extra stuffing in the pan and piled it around the zucchinis on the plate.

I loved it! And my hubby said it was a keeper. I blended the onions and zucchini pulp in the blender because the kids do not like the chunky onions and was to lazy to cut it fine. Oh and I sprinkled Parmesan on at the end of baking time and it looked so nice.

The filling for the recipe is just like meatballs. I've made this with turkey and beef, and always use more than the recipe calls for so I can make additional meat balls. It's really tasty way to use up extra zucchini, which is great because with a garden we normally have plenty of zucchini to eat. =D

I think this is the recipe that I got in WV from the people we bought our house from.
