Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 2 tsps black pepper
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 6 oz cheddar cheese
  • 2 medium young green onions
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 6 medium zucchinis

Directions

  • Wash zucchini and cut in half lengthwise. Using a melon baller or teaspoon scoop out the inside flesh leaving about 1/4 to 3/8" all around making a little "boat".
  • Chop the scooped out zucchini and the green onions and set aside.
  • Brown the ground beef and drain well. Add all the spices, zucchini, green onions, and enchilada sauce and simmer all together for 30 minutes on low to low-medium heat. Stir occasionally.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  • Place your prepared zucchini in a 7x11" or 9x13" cake pan lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Drain the meat sauce slightly saving any liquid. Scoop 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the meat mixture. Pour any remaining meat and sauce around the zucchini in the pan. Top with cheese and cover with foil.
  • Bake at for 30 minutes.
  • Serve hot with sour cream, salsa, black olives, or other low carb choices.
