8-Ball Zucchini Recipe Stuffed Eight Ball Zucchini with Ground beef is the perfect weeknight meal! This delicious and hearty dish will impress your taste buds with its flavorful combination of tender zucchini, Heirloom tomatoes, ground beef, marinara sauce, and shredded cheese Whether you're looking for a tasty weeknight meal or an impressive dish to serve at your next dinner party, stuffed 8-ball zucchini with ground beef will surely be a hit.
– 8-Ball Zucchini or regular Zucchini – Ground Beef (Grassfed, grass-finished is always best) – Red onion – Olive Oil – Tomatoes (homegrown if you've got em 😉 – Marinara Sauce – Shredded Mexican Cheese – Spices for taste: black pepper, Himalayan sea salt, oregano, and garlic – Fresh Basil (optional) – Bell peppers (optional) – Coconut Oil Cooking Spray
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Begin by hollowing out the 8-ball zucchinis. Cut off the tops of the zucchinis and carefully scoop out the insides, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges. Save the scooped-out flesh for later use in the filling.
Step 2: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil and red onion and saute the chopped onion until translucent.
Step 3: Add the ground beef, and spices, and cook over medium heat until browned.
Step 4: Add the diced tomatoes and other zucchini reserves, and saute until the tomatoes start to break down.
Step 5: Add the marinara and saute in a skillet over medium heat together for five more minutes. Spray the baking dish with coconut oil spray. Now it's time to stuff the hollowed-out zucchini with the beef mixture in the baking dish. Using a spoon or ladle, pack them full but leave a little room at the top as the marinara sauce may spill out during cooking.
