Category: Recipes
    Prep Time:   1hr    Cook Time:   45min    Total Time:   1:45


• 50 large zucchini, cut in half lengthwise
• 1/3 cup and 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 5 cups olive oil
• 20 onion, chopped
• 1/3 cup and 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 30 pounds ground beef
• 40 eggs
• 30 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 1-1/4 cups dried basil
• 20 (26.5 ounce) cans spaghetti sauce, divided
• 20 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Scoop out and discard zucchini seeds, leaving the hollowed-out shells. Sprinkle the garlic salt into the hollowed-out zucchini, and set aside. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, mix the ground beef, eggs, bread crumbs, basil, together with the onion mixture. Stuff the zucchini halves with the meat mixture, and place them into a baking dish. Spoon about half the spaghetti sauce over the zucchini, covering all the meat and allowing sauce to drip down the sides of the zucchini boats.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the meat is no longer pink in the center and the zucchini are tender, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the zucchini, and return to oven until the cheese melts, about 5 more minutes. Heat the remaining spaghetti sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat while the zucchini boats are cooking. Serve the zucchini boats with the additional sauce on the side.
