Stuffed Zucchini's

OMG these were so good. Thank you everydaypaleo.com you know how to rock my dinner table!

3-4 large zucchini's (I could only find small ones, so I doubled it)
2 pounds ground meat (I used sausage, a hot and regular. She used ground bison)
1 red onion diced
1 egg plant peeled and diced
8.5 oz sun dried tomatoes packed in olive oil- finely chopped
1 cup fresh basil diced
2 Tbsp fresh rosemary finely diced
4 garlic cloves- minced
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1 splash balsamic vinegar
sea salt and black pepper to taste

* Preheat oven to 375

* Cut a thin slice off the top of the zucchini's and scoop out the inside of the squash leaving the shell.

* Drizzle the inside of the squash with olive oil and bake for 20 minutes

* While the squash shells are in the oven start browning your ground meat. When the meat is almost brown, add the onions, eggplant and diced excess zucchini. Cook until the eggplant is soft.

* Add the remaining ingredients and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Pull the shells out of the oven and stuff them as full as you can. (I had a ton more meat filling then shells so I just spooned the filling into the shells, then poured all the excess all over the top. Sort of like a casserole.)

*Put the stuffed shells back in the oven and bake for another 30-40 minutes.

Seriously delicious. I thought this would be a veggie overload but it wasn't. We only had this for dinner. No side dish. It could have used something else like a cauliflower something, or potato dish. I ended up having 4 shells . The same as Mat... it was that good.
