Lulas Recheadas - Portuguese Stuffed squid

This is a favorite of mine. I believe I could eat squid easily at least once a week. Both my daughter love it and when my tween's friends are here I make sure to cut the squid all small on their plate this way they will not be grossed out by the full squid.

20 cleaned squids
1/4 # ground beef
1/4 # ground chouriço
1 onion
4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1/4 cup of chopped parsley

1/2 chopped onion
2 garlic cloves minced
2 dry bay leaves
5 roma tomatoes chopped into cubes

6. In a medium size pot sautee the onions and garlic in the olive oil
