Stuffed Globe Squash

Stuffed Globe Squash

Stuffing can consist of just about anything, the only limit is your own imagination. One night my wife made a chicken and pasta dish & I was trying to limit my carbs, so I decided to mine mostly the chicken and red sauce out to stuff a globe squash ( I threw in a few of the penne pasta pieces, because I just couldn’t resist it). It turned out amazing! I made an Instagram post and a customer asked for the recipe. Well here’s one I just made tonight and my family went nuts over it.

Keep in mind you can modify & substitute a stuffing mix to your hearts content. If a concoction sounds good to you, then stuff a veggie with it and impress yourself and your loved ones. There are countless ways to stuff a veggie and it will be amazing.

  • 1 box Rice-a-Roni “Spanish Rice”
    • 1 can of diced tomatoes “Italian style”
    • 2 tbsp butter
    • 2 cups water
  • 1 lb Ground hamburger
  • 1/2 Green Bell
  • 1/2 Jalapeno
  • 1/2 white onion
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 1/2 Fresno Chili
  • 1/2 Pasilla Chili
  • 1 Pkg Mozzarella Cheese
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper
Follow the boxes instructions and whip up some yummy rice!
Chop up your veggies.
  • Mix chopped veggies & ground chuck, lightly saute’/brown all together.
I browned lightly because it will bake again in the oven. I was aiming for a moist end result.
Mix your rice in well and set aside to cool. I let mine cool completely and stored in fridge till dinner time. The great thing about this recipe is you can make this part a day or two in advance.
Wash, Top Cut & Core out your Globes. I save the coring to enjoy later, it’s to delicious to toss and it will make a nice squash snack anytime.
Stuff these babies full, packing them in tightly!
Place onto a backing sheet, lids and all. Here you can see I had extra stuffing so i grabbed a fresh Pasilla and another globe (the zucchini kind) and stuffed them too. I also quartered up another few garlic cloves and nested a wedge into each globe. One step further because I’m personally a chili head, I quartered a Serrano chili and stuffed it into my globe. That ones for Dad! Drizzled everything w/Olive Oil (optional)
-Set Oven to bake at 400 degrees and slide them in. I baked them for 20 min to start.
Slice up the Mozzarella evenly as possible, nibble on the leftovers. 🙂
After the 20 min bake point I dropped on the Motz toppers & baked another 10 min.
Plate and serve – tops optional (I just thought it was cool). The whole family went nuts over these, remember there is no wrong way to stuff a veggie. Enjoy!
