Mediterranean Stuffed Zucchini Boats with Beef and Rice

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Scoop out the centers of the zucchini halves with a spoon, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell, and chop the scooped flesh.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and onion for 8 minutes, breaking up the meat, until the beef reaches 160°F and is no longer pink.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped zucchini flesh, cooked white rice, diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes, until heated through.

Step 4

Arrange the zucchini shells in a baking dish and fill each with the beef and rice mixture.

Step 5

Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the top of each stuffed zucchini boat.

Step 6

Bake for 25 minutes, until the zucchini shells are tender and the filling is bubbling.

Step 7

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
