You will need:
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 slice white bread, torn into small pieces

- 1 minced jalapeno pepper
- 3 tablespoons diced green chili peppers
- ½ cup chopped tomato
- ½ cup minced onion
- 6 tablespoons shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 pinch dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Then you will need to:
- Prepare your grill for indirect heat.
- Put the zucchini in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain, let cool, and then cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the pulp to about ¼ an inch away from the skin. Chop up the pulp that you removed.
- In a medium bowl, mix the zucchini pulp, bacon bits, bread pieces, jalapeno, olives, green chili peppers, tomato, onion, and cheddar cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and basil.
- Stuff the zucchini halves with the pulp mixture. Seal each stuffed half with aluminum foil.
- Put the foil packets on the prepared grill over indirect heat. Cook each packet for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender. Enjoy!
