Ingredients:
1 large zucchini ( Fresh)
1 can pizza sauce ( Divided)
mozzarella cheese ( Divided-Enough to cover each Zucchini half)
cooked sausage ( Divided-Enough to fill each Zucchini half)
1 teaspoon oregano ( divided)
2 teaspoons garlic powder ( divided)
salt and pepper
Directions:
Cut Zucchini in half lengthwise.
With a large spoon scoop out all the seeds in both halves leaving enough meaty portion to cook.
(Creating a canoe appearance) Place half of the can of Pizza sauce in each half of Zucchini.
Mix Sausage into sauce to taste in each half.
Sprinkle Oregano and Garlic Powder on each half.
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Place strips of cheese over each half to cover all the sauce mixture.
Quickly (and I do mean quick) place one half Zucchini on the other.
Place whole Zucchini on tin foil and wrap well.
I suggest double wrapping because the juice is going to run out and the Zucchini will be very soft when done.
Place over medium heat on a covered grille.
Grille for about 45 to 60 minutes depending on heat, turning every 10 to 15 minutes, or until Zucchini is extremely soft when squeezed.
Remove from grille and place on platter.
Unwrap carefully for there will be a lot of hot sauce and steam.
Note: This is an excellent side dish for any type of grilled dinner.
You can also alternate using different types of cooked meat when making this.
Such as cooked Ground Beef, cooked Chicken or Pork.
Small pieces of Pepperoni or Hot Dogs can also be used but doesn’t require being cooked.
I imagine this could be made in the oven as well if preferred.
