STUFFED ZUCCHINI - BETTY CROCKER
I know, I know.....5 million stuffed zucchini recipes, and I had to post another. Well this one is different then the others. Actually, this is the very first 'stuffed' recipe I ever tried. I'd just gone back to work after having the kids, and came across Betty Crocker's 'Working Woman's Cookbook'. What a gem this book is. Anyway, getting back to the zucchini....this is very tasty, and easy to put together. The best part, is you can prepare it up to 24 hours ahead of time. Just what working people need.

This recipe is tried and true,infact I've used it for over a dozen years. Terrific to help get rid of that bumper crop of zucchini out in the garden. I will even shred the zuchinni and freeze it in ziplocks for the winter time when I go on my baking sprees. The spices really make this recipe, thanks to the cinnamon and cloves. Enjoy!!!

- Use a variety of fillings: You can use almost any type of filling for stuffed zucchini. Some popular options include ground beef, ground turkey, rice, vegetables, and cheese.
- Cook the zucchini before stuffing: This will help to soften the zucchini and make it easier to stuff. You can cook the zucchini in a variety of ways, such as boiling, roasting, or grilling.
