SAUSAGE STUFFED ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

This recipe is from the neighborhood when my school was located. (My elementary, junior high, and high all in one building!)

4 medium zucchini
1/2 lb sausage, crumbled, fried, and drained
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup fine whole wheat bread crumbs
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 beaten egg
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp pepper
Parmesan cheese for topping

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Leave zucchini whole and cook in boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove zucchini from water and allow to cool enough to handle. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the centers. Combine the sausage, bread crumbs, tomato sauce, egg, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. Mix together well and stuff the zucchini with the mixture. Top with as much Parmesan cheese as desired. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
