Brown ground beef until done. Drain fat, rinse with hot water if desired. In a bowl add cooked burger and mix with 1 cup mozzarella and parmesan cheese while hot (this will help burger stick together) then add seasonings. Place squash cut side up on cookie sheet; stuff cavity with meat mixture, and cover with foil. Place in oven at 375 degrees for 1 to 1 ½ hours until tender. Uncover, top squash with sauce, and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Place back in oven about 5 minutes until sauce is heated and cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes. Serves 4-6. (Notes: This works great with zucchini also, just reduce cooking time. Experiment with different spices and amounts. I usually put this together with out measuring, tasting as I go.) |
