How to Prepare:

Preheat oven to 350f and spray a cookie sheet or casserole with cooking spray. Use a spoon and shell out the zucchini to make "boats". Leave the skin and about 1/4 inch or so of flesh intact. Chop pulp roughly. In a skillet, add ground beef, onion, garlic, mushrooms and zucchini pulp. Cook through, stiring to break up meat. Lay the zucchini boats in prepared pan and spoon meat filling into them. Bake, covered, for 20 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with cheese and bake until cheese melts.
