3 medium zucchini
1 small onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped (1/2" chunks)
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh mushrooms
2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 egg, beaten
1 cup cracker crumbs
1 pound hamburger, finely crumbled and brownedPre-heat oven to 400
Halve the zucchini, place in a glass pan, cover with plastic wrap and put in your microwave for five minutes. When finished, remove from the microwave to allow for cooling. When cool, scrape the seeds out of the zucchini, using a spoon; cut the zucchini in 1" chunks and set aside in a large bowl.
Combine the seeds from the zucchini, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes, cracker crumbs, and hamburger in with the zucchini chunks, tossing gently. Add the scrambled egg and mix thoroughly but gently so that you don't beat the zucchini chunks to a pulp.
Put the mixture back into the pan that you microwaved the zucchini in (I use a 13x9" Pyrex pan) and top with grated cheese (Parmesan or Cheddar will work).
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes and serve.
