Definitely needs adjusting, Member ElizM3

First, the recipe is not very user friendly. The meat & zucchini pulp should be cooked on the stove top and seasoned before being put onto zucchini to bake. My husband is allergic to tomatoes, so i could not use ketchup, and didnt have chili sauce, i definitely italianized this recipe by adding breadcrumbs, parm cheese and ricotta cheese to the ground beef and zucchini mixture, flavored with onion flakes, seasoned salt, pepper & garlic. i didnt add oatmeal either. Delish!
