Meatloaf-Stuffed Zucchini Is The Perfect Quick And Balanced Dinner
By Betsy Parks
Next time you make meatloaf, use a zucchini or two to give your leftovers new life while making a perfectly balanced dinner with zero food waste.
Meatloaf-stuffed zucchini requires almost no prep time since you already did most of the work making the loaf itself. To make it, you only need one or two extra ingredients.
If you have a few slices of leftover meatloaf and a couple of zuchs, slice the veggies in half lengthways and use a sturdy metal spoon to scoop out the seeds and make some space.
Once your zucchini halves are prepped, sprinkle a little salt and pepper into the squash, arrange them on a sheet pan or in a casserole dish, and fill them with chopped meatloaf.
If you've got leftover gravy, pour it on top or add spaghetti or marinara sauce. You can also top it with some grated cheese, breadcrumbs, onions, mushrooms, or bacon.
