  • Cut the large zucchini into halves; scoop out center seeds and discard. Place in large casserole dish and cover with salted water and saran wrap. Cook in microwave for approximately 20 minutes or until fork tender.
  • During this process, cook the rice.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan; sauté onion, carrots, zucchini, and garlic. Remove to bowl and keep warm.
  • Fry the chuck in same saucepan; rinse and drain. Return to pan. Mix in the rice, vegetable mixture, velveeta cheese, mushroom soup, and half and half into the beef. If more half and half is needed, add to make a gooey mixture. Add salt and red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Drain zucchini halves and pat dry with a paper towel. Salt the cavity.
  • Spray casserole with cooking spray that held cooking zucchini. Lay zucchini into the casserole dish; spoon mixture into zucchini boats; if you have leftover mix, dump on top. Put bread crumbs on top.
  • Bake 400 degrees until golden brown.

We have the cutest little grand children. He's a real charmer and a handful! And she's an absolute prescious little princess. No wonder grandparents love them so! I have a great husband who likes to help me cook and clean. <img title="Wink" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" />&nbsp; We love to garden and have a huge herb and vegetable garden every year. Wondering what to do with all the eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini is what led me to Zaar. &nbsp;My husband and I have a wonderful time cooking together, whether in the kitchen or on our deck. We love to eat and try new food. We just cook and eat it all! <img title="Kiss" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-kiss.gif" border="0" alt="Kiss" />&nbsp; I love any holiday when my family can come home to visit. For the holidays, we always cook the traditional fare, but add new twists by adding a few new recipes into the menus. It's always interesting to see what they think! I also love cooking for our office parties. You always know it's a hit when they ask for the recipe.&nbsp; <img title="Wink" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" /></em></strong></span></p>
