Southwestern Stuffed Zucchini – Lynn’s Recipes

Lynn demonstrates how to make a great side dish, Southwestern Stuffed Zucchini. This recipe was shared with me by my cousin, Linda, via Southern Living, and is great to serve when you have guests or just as a dinner side dish.

Makes 6 servings

6 medium zucchini or yellow squash
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (3 ounces) shredded Monterey jack cheese
½ cup chopped green onions
5 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
3 small tomatillos, husked and chopped
½ teaspoon pepper
½ cup breadcrumbs
2 to 3 Tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat oven to 375°. Spray a 13 x 9” baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, and remove seeds. Microwave, in batches, in a 11 x 7” glass dish at HIGH 5 to 7 minutes or until tender. Scoop out pulp, keeping shells intact; reserve pulp. Sprinkle shells with salt.

Stir together reserved pulp, cheese, green onions, bacon, tomatillos and pepper.

Fill shells with pulp mixture; place in a 13 x 9” baking dish, sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs; drizzle with butter. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes.

    We sure love zucchini from the garden and will try this. I do believe we will follow a tip that Juanelo1946 does and use crushed pork rinds, rather than bread crumbs as my husband is diabetic. Therefore, we avoid simple carbs whenever possible. Thank you lovely Lynn for a great recipe.
