I love stuffed peppers.
So did the rest of my family until recently. Somehow, the pepper part just doesn’t agree
with my husband anymore. So, when I
make stuffed peppers these days, I usually make half of them as stuffed squash.
They are still delicious, but the squash
doesn’t tend to come back as a repeat for my husband.
Stuffed Zucchini and Yellow Squash (or Peppers)
1 ½ lbs. hamburger
2 eggs1 cup bread crumbs
½ cup parmesan cheese
½ cup milk, water, or chicken broth (pick one)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
3-4 small zucchini or yellow squash, halved and seeded
1 large can of tomato soup
1 can chicken broth
1 pkg. shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 400°
Place hamburger in mixing bowl with eggs, bread crumbs,
parmesan cheese, liquid of your choice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and
pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Cut squash in half and remove seeds. Fill with meatball mixture and place in
ovenproof dish. Once you have filled
all the squash halves, you then pour in one can of chicken broth and can of
tomato soup.
Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes on 400°. When timer goes off, reduce heat to 350° and
cook an additional 45 minutes. Remove
from oven and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Return to oven and bake an additional ½ hour.
Serve with rice and store all leftovers
in the frig.
Notes and Swaps
·
You can swap out the squash with large peppers.
·
You can serve with rice to use up the extra
sauce
·
You can fill squash with your favorite meatball,
meatloaf or meat and rice mixture.
·
Sometimes when I make the squash I add a sliced
onion and pepper with the soup before baking.
·
Have big squash, cut it crosswise in chunks,
scoop out the middle and fill with meat.
·
Try adding some sweet corn or black beans to
your meat mixture.
