Steps:
- It's hard to say exactly how many zucchinis to get because you insert your favorite meatloaf recipe and I'm not sure how much that calls for.
- Halve zucchinis and scoop out the center with a spoon and arrange on a baking sheet. They should look like little boats (or you could probably grill these if you wanted to, but I bake them.)
- Sprinkle garlic salt on zucchinis. Put in uncooked meatloaf mixture. Pour spaghetti sauce over the top and sprinkle mozzarella cheese.
- Bake about 45 minutes in 350 degree oven.
