Loaded Zucchini Skins
These Loaded Zucchini Skins are my new favorite! They’re zucchini halves (seeds removed and hollowed out) stuffed with shredded cheddar cheese and crispy fried bacon, and baked until tender and cheese is melty. To best serve, you may top these zucchini boats with a teaspoon scoop of sour cream and chopped green onion. Yummy!
