How to Make Sausage Stuffed Zucchini:

• Cook sausage until well browned and crumbled.
• Cook onions in olive oil and season with salt and pepper, until softened.
• Mix sausage, onions and shredded cheese together.

• Wash zucchini and cut into about 3 inch chunks. Scoop out the center of the zucchini leaving a bit in the bottom to form a cup. A soup spoon works great for this.
• Stuff sausage mixture into zucchini cups.

• Prepare a grill fire to about 300° with hickory, oak or pecan for smoke flavor.
• Place zucchini cups on the grill using a grill pan over indirect heat. Cook for about 30 minutes with the grill lid closed.

• Remove from grill and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.

Serve stuffed zucchini as an appetizer, main dish or side dish. It is an incredibly delicious and flavorful way to enjoy all of the garden fresh zucchini.

If you have small zucchini, you can also slice the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the center to form a boat for the stuffing. We had some larger zucchini (not huge) and the cups worked perfect for the stuffing.

Our entire family loved the stuffed zucchini. I swear grilling has been a real deal changer in getting my kids to eat vegetables!

We used our homemade sausage recipe for this stuffed zucchini, if you get the chance to make your own, it’s seriously the best. Of course your favorite brand will work great or you might also try it with a smoked sausage like andouille.

There are endless possibilities for stuffing zucchini and I hope you will try this simple and delicious sausage, onion and cheese zucchini, it’s one of my favorites!
