ZUCCHINI SAUSAGE CASSEROLE
This was a real hit with my family! This recipe will make a large pan of casserole, so you may want to cut it in half. It's a great, savory meal all by itself, but it would also make a nice side dish for the holidays or be perfect for a pot luck. I made it in the middle of the winter for a cozy dinner side, and used up some shredded zucchini that I had frozen from the garden. To make it a little healthier, try substituting low-fat or fat-free ingredients.

Tips:
- Use high-quality sausage: Opt for a flavorful sausage that will add depth to the casserole. Spicy or Italian sausage works well, but you can choose any type you prefer.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the sausage, make sure to do it in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help the sausage cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh zucchini and onion will give the casserole the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh zucchini, you can use frozen, but be sure to thaw it completely before adding it to the casserole.
- Season well: Don't be afraid to season the casserole generously. Garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper are all essential seasonings for this dish.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this casserole, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Serve immediately: This casserole is best served immediately after it is baked. The zucchini will start to lose its texture if it sits for too long.
