Sausage Couscous Stuffed Zucchini

A made up recipe by Julie Perry 

1 lb mild ground sausage

3 small zucchini

1 4oz can sliced mushrooms (do not drain)

1 8oz can diced tomatoes with Italian seasoning (do not drain)

¼ c diced onion

1 ½ c water

shredded cheese

salt

pepper

Italian Ms. Dash

Begin to cook sausage with the onion in a medium sized pot. Once sausage is cooked add in the can of tomatoes and can of mushrooms. Add 1½ cups of water to the pot with 1¼ cups of couscous. Bring mixture to a boil until the couscous is cooked and remaining liquid is boiled away. Cut the zucchini in half and scoop out the middle. Season the zucchini with the salt, pepper, and Italian Ms. Dash. Fill the zucchini with the sausage mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes at 400F or until fork tender. Top with shredded cheese for last 5 minutes of cooking time.

Note: This makes much more stuffing than the 3 small zucchini can handle. Reuse leftover stuffing in almost anything!
