INGREDIENTS
1 medium Zucchini
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1/4 cup Black Beans
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup diced Bell Pepper
1/4 cup diced Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/8 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the center to create a boat shape, leaving about 1/4-inch thick walls.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato sauce and black beans into the beef mixture and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Spoon the meat and bean mixture evenly into each zucchini boat.
Top each filled zucchini with a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the stuffed zucchini boats on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
