Philly Cheesesteak Zucchini Boats Recipe
Do you have a taste for a Philly cheesesteak sandwich but don’t want the calories and carbs it provides? Well, how about replacing that carb-filled hoagie roll with garden zucchini. Philly cheesesteak zucchini boats have much more vitamins, and minerals contained then the classic sandwich counterpart.
I love coming up with new recipes or changing up old classics, with our garden veggies. Zucchinis are so prolific in the garden. I typically collect two to three a day, so I have to do something with them. If I am not dehydrating or freezing them for future use, then I am eating them fresh. These Philly cheesesteak zucchini boats are a great way to use up two to three medium-sized zucchinis in one meal to feed the family.
Cost to make this recipe.
This full-on meal I calculated to be about $9.13 for four servings or about $2.28 per zucchini boat. Growing your zucchinis, peppers, onions, and seasonings can reduce the price immensely. My homesteader cost is roughly $6.83 by growing half the produce.
