Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F
  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini

    Turn oven on to 425 degrees. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before cooking, and after handling raw meat and seafood. Remove all produce from any packaging or constraints, then thoroughly rinse and pat dry.

    Combine zucchini, 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, half the Italian seasoning (reserve remaining for meatloaves), and 11/2 tsp. olive oil in provided tray.

    Place zucchini in one half of tray, then top with half the panko (reserve remaining for meatloaves), and Parmesan.

  2. 2

    Add the Meatloaves

    In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine ground beef, remaining panko, remaining Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

    In another mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and mozzarella. Form into two balls.

    Divide beef mixture into two equally-sized ovals. Press your thumb into center of each oval and place a cream cheese-mozzarella ball into the well. Close meat around cheese and re-form into an oval. Form a tight seal so cheese stays inside meat. Add meatloaves to empty side of tray and top evenly with ketchup and marinara.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meal

    Bake uncovered in hot oven until zucchini is tender and meatloaves reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 25-30 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Bon appétit!
