One Hour Challenge Recipes

Baked Zucchini

1 lb. sausage, browned
1 chopped onion
poultry seasoning
garlic powder
1 package Pepperidge Farms Seasoned Stuffing Mix
parmesan cheese
1 large zucchini

Cut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out center and fry with meat, onion and seasonings.
Put stuffing mixture into a large bowl, add mixture from frying pan and cheese.
Mix well.  If too dry, add a little hot water.
Fill both halves of squash with the stuffing mixture. 
Top with more cheese.
Wrap each half in foil and bake on a cookie sheet at 375° until squash is tender.

Here's how I usually make this:

I chop up smaller sized unpeeled zucchini and cook it with the sausage and onions.  Mix it with the stuffing, seasoning and cheese.  Place it into a greased baking dish and bake until hot throughout.  I even just cook this in the microwave.
