This recipe is great, very flavorful. I did add about 3 cloves of fresh pressed garlic to the cheese mixture but then omitted the garlic powder. I think my zucchini must have been smaller than what was called for because I had enough of the fillings to make 3 zucchini halves, so I took some to my parents to try, they also loved it. I have a good zucchini plant in the garden this year, will definately be making this again. Thank you SABRAMARIE for posting this recipe.

Pretty good recipe. I made a few changes that might have effected the dish for the worse. I used a relatively small zucchini (it fit into a 9x9 pan), so it got way overcooked and mushy. I couldn't find any plain pork sausage near me (I live in a TINY town) so I got Italian sausage - like brat insides, which was very salty. I think with the size of zuke I had, skipping the microwaving and baking for 20-30 min would have helped the mushy-ness. Also, I would have cut the stuffing mixture in half. Overall, very good, and will definately make again!

Worth trying in the summer with all of the zucchini that's around! I pertty much followed the recipe, except I skipped the cottage cheese, and instead of italian seasoning aI used dried oregano, some fresh basil, and dill. It turned out great, and could have been a meal in itself but I used it as a side dish to go with chicken parmeseana. Next time, I want to try with smaller zucchinis (I used one that was about 14in) because I think it may be better with a thinner zucchini. GREAT recipe! Thanks

This was excellent! I used the Morningstar Farms Burger style Grillers Veggie Recipe Crumbles (in a bag)as suggested. The only problem I had is too much stuffing (if you consider that a problem). I just bought some more zucchinis the next day and made some more. It filled a total of 7 zucchinis, which were the biggest ones my grocery store had. My family loved them!

Oh my, oh my!!! WOW, this was totally unexpected and amazing!!! Couple of changes that I made - instead of microwaving the zucchini (used 4 regular grocery store sized), I boiled them along with the onion and italian seasoning. I didn't have a tomato, so I used drained can of Rotel.. Also, I just used what cheese was on hand which happened to be a little bit of mozz, and the rest was a cheddar/ m-j mix. Instead of buttering the dish, I just sprayed with Pam. Once I got the cooled, drained zuch's in there, I sprinkled with both garlic salt and some onion powder. I can not wait to eat the rest of this tomorrow.. I can already tell it is going to be one of those things that is WAY better the next day!! Thanks again for an awesome new recipe. Can't wait to make it more often!

Very good. I used a very large zucchini, and it was still too much stuffing (I cut it down too!). I had to improvise bc I didn't have any cottage cheese or ricotta, so I subbed sour cream. Unorthodox, I know, but it worked. I like all the flavors but again, too much filling so I'd cut it at least in half next time. I also used about half the Italian seasoning, which was perfect. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a good recipe with lots of room to customize it. The zucchini at my local store are small so I buy several. I have found that these taste really well as leftovers. I used sausage the first time, however I prefer it without.

The family loved it! I used canned, diced italian tomatoes since I had them on hand, I used 1/2 the sausage and add 1/2 cup of bacon bits for variety. Will be cooking again. Thanks for sharing.

I made this with some extra zucchini my boyfriends friend gave us... LOVE IT!!! The only thing I did differently was instead of the colby was use cheddar because it was what I had on hand and instead of fresh tomatoes, I used a can of diced tomatoes and drained them! It came out GREAT! He gave some to his friend and they LOVE it! It's a HIT!! Thanks so much for a GREAT and EASY recipe! :D Happy from Rochster, NY

excellent thanks for the recipe! I use meatless sausage in it to make it a nice healthy vegetarian meal, I also pour marinara sauce over top before baking yum yum, almost tastes like pizza!

This was a huge hit with my Low-Carb diet friends. I replaced the sausage with spicy Turkey sausage and followed everything else to a T. It was delicious!

We enjoyed this. It's a great way to use up zucchini. I used what cheese I had on hand, mostly cheddar, and cut the microwave cooking time down to 3 minutes. I'll make this again and recommend it to my friends.

This recipe is a keeper. I did cook the zucchini before adding the filling. To the sausage mixture, I added some tomato sauce.

This was great! We didn't have cottage cheese so I just added a little bit more cheese and more tomato to make sure it wasn't dry. I also wanted to use up what we had in our garden and added some green pepper it was a good addition. My DH and both agreed you could have this for a late brunch also. The only change was that our zuchinni was still crunchy so next time we are going to use young zuch's and chop them up and mix it all together to make more of a casserol.

I went looking for a "vegetable and cheese" dish, and this really exceeded my expectations! To make it lower calorie and lower fat, I used 2% Colby cheese, lowfat cottage cheese, and Italian turkey sausage. I also used 1 can of drained diced tomatoes with Italian seasoning. I also did not cook the zucchini first, and it was just fine, but I used three regular-sized store zucchinis, not huge home grown ones! I thought it was great!

Use one full pound of sausage and cut the cheese ingredients by half. With four regular sized zucchini it will fill a 9x12 pan. I agree that it is not necessary to microwave the zucchini first. Good idea to cook onions w/sausage. Made this last night and although delish--too much cheese filling.
