 Ingredients List

  • 4 medium zucchini
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 1-1/2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup bulgur
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

 Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Cut each zucchini lengthwise in half. Scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-in. shell; chop pulp.
In a large skillet, cook beef, onion and red pepper over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, bulgur, pepper and zucchini pulp. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 12-15 minutes or until bulgur is tender. Stir in salsa. Spoon into zucchini shells.
Place in a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, covered, 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, 10-15 minutes longer or until zucchini is tender and filling is heated through.
