Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds zucchini or yellow squash, coarsely grated
3/4 pound sage sausage
3/4 pound hot sausage
2 onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a wide, 2-quart baking dish, or spray it with nonstick spray.

Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Combine the sausage and onions with the zucchini.

ZUCCHINI SAUSAGE CASSEROLE



Zucchini Sausage Casserole image

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.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h20m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 cups zucchini, coarsely shredded (do not squeeze out juice!!)
8 links sweet Italian sausage (removed from casings or use bulk, approx 1.5 lbs)
1/2 cup butter
10 ounces carrots, shredded (appprox 2 cups)
2 medium onions, chopped
12 ounces herb seasoned stuffing mix (2 boxes, I used Pork Stove Top)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (can also use cream of celery or broccoli)
2 cups sour cream
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

Steps:

  • Line your largest baking pan with heavy duty foil or lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • Preheat a skillet on medium high, add all the butter and let it melt, do not brown. Saute the onions and carrots until the carrots are translucent but not mushy. Pour into a large mixing bowl. There will be a lot of melted butter in the onion mixture, this is necessary for the stuffing.
  • Using same skillet, crumble and brown the sausage (be sure to remove the casings). drain off the grease and add to the onion mix.
  • To the bowl, add all the remaining ingredients and stir well. You will not need to add any water.
  • Move the mixture to prepared baking pan. Bake at 350 for one hour or until golden brown on top. If using optional cheese, add to the top in the last 5-10 minutes of baking, Cheese should be fully melted before serving.
  • You may make this ahead and freeze, or freeze in portions after it is already baked.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet: This will give you plenty of room to cook the sausage and vegetables without overcrowding the pan.
  • Brown the sausage well: This will help to develop its flavor.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to be tender-crisp.
  • Use a good-quality marinara sauce: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Season the casserole to taste: Add salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until it reaches your desired flavor.
  • Serve the casserole hot: This is a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold night.

Conclusion:

Zucchini Sausage Stovetop Casserole is a quick and easy one-pot meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is packed with flavor and is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try!
