A tasty zucchini side dish.
Zucchini can be steamed for 10 minutes instead of boiled, if desired.
These were fun to make and I really enjoyed the addition of cottage cheese. My filling did turn out a little watery so I had to add some breadcrumb to make sure it stayed in the slipper while baking. My slippers were good and drained but maybe I should have drained some of the excess water off of the zucchini flesh too. This is a great way to use up your harvest from the garden!

We love stuffed zucchini so when I saw this recipe I had to try it. After reading a couple reviews and the recipe I agreed that this would need breadcrumbs so I added 1/4 cup. Also added 1 minced clove of garlic and 2 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese as the recipe itself looked a little dull in flavour. I made them ahead of time in the morning (stuffed and all) and put them in the fridge until dinner time. I added about 10 minutes cooking time. Next time I think I would do them on 375F instead of 350F
I used Parmesan instead of Colby (not a fan of orange cheese) and dried parsley instead of fresh because I didn't have fresh. This may have been why I didn't have the "slippage" problem others experienced. I didn't add any bread crumbs but everything stayed in place nicely. It was kind of bland though. More spices next time, I think, but there will definitely be a next time!
AMAZING!!! I received several large zucchini and needed a new recipe. Found this one and decided to try it. This is so easy to make and tastes awesome. I followed the recipe exactly and will tweak it a bit the next time by adding crumbled bacon and a covering of grated parmesan cheese on top. Don't get me wrong -- I LOVE the original recipe. The "slippers" freeze well and can be taken out of the freezer one at at time when needed and thawed and reheated easily. This is definitely a 5-star recipe!

Good side dish addition to our Thanksgiving dinner. Next time I will steam the zucchini as it came out too soft

It was good. After reading Soup Loving Nicole I should have added breadcrumbs. I didn't taste the cheese. I didn't add the bell peper.
Switched the cottage cheese for Italian style ground chicken. Precooked the chicken and a added a shake of New Orleans Creole spice. Served as the main for 3 people, had just enough leftovers for one lunch. Will make again!
