I cheated and cooked them covered in the microwave for 6 minutes, then topped with cheese and baked them for 5 minutes in the oven at 400. They were cooked PERFECTLY. I only used 3/4 lb meat and 1 can of mushrooms and I still had more filling than I needed. Next time I will mix some sauce into the meat mixture plus put more sauce on top. I also topped them off with Parmesean. Nice recipe.

These were great...my husband even liked them! The only change I made was leaving out the mushrooms and adding a little bit of Parmesan cheese to the zucchini/sausage mixture. I used spicy Italian sausage too. These were just so simple and delicious...they will go into my recipe rotation for sure!

Even those people who do not like zucchini will LOVE this recipe. I could make a meal of this alone! Easy to prepare and great flavor. Thanks for sharing, Small-Town Cook. It's a winner!
