Evelyn Sahley Cassis

Ingredients

1 dozen medium sized yellow squash (or zucchini)
1 cup rice, rinsed
1 pound ground round
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 8 ounce can tomato sauce
1 can of crushed tomatoes

Directions

Wash squash and scoop out the inside of the squash with a special tool.  Save the insides of the squash to make Koosa Patties (see recipe below).  Mix the rice, ground round, salt, pepper, cinnamon and allspice together and stuff each squash with the mixture.  Put the squash in a pan and cover with the tomato sauce, a can of water and the crushed tomatoes.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and add mint if you like.  Add additional water to cover the top of the koosa.  Cover the koosa and cook for approximately 25 minutes on low.
The koosa can be put in freezer bags and then in a container for future use.  Defrost the koosa and add tomato sauce when heating them.
