Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Prepare your zucchini by trimming off the stem end. To do this I just gently round the end of the zucchini with a knife, removing the stem. Then cut each zucchini in half length-wise. Use a measuring spoon (teaspoon) to hollow out the zucchini forming a boat.
- Place the zucchini boats in a greased baking dish and sprinkle a small amount of salt over them.
- In a skillet over medium high heat brown the ground beef.
- Add bell peppers, taco seasoning, salt, and ¼ cup of water to the ground beef. Continue to cook until vegetables are softened and water has been absorbed.
- Once the beef mixture is ready fill each zucchini boat with the beef and vegetable mixture.
- Top the zucchini boats with cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until zucchini has softened and cheese is melted.
- Evenly spread the salsa over the zucchini boats before serving.
