I can't believe I have never reviewed this recipes as I've been making it for years! I make it as written and the whole family loves it. It helps to get rid of the massive zucchini surplus that I have every year during gardening season. For such a simple recipe, it definitely packs in the flavor. The only variation I make sometimes is that I will use salsa instead of spaghetti sauce and cook up the beef like taco meat for a Mexican inspired meal. Another great recipe, Kitten!Reply
