Unstuffed Zucchini Sausage Casserole

Saturday, February 4, 2012


This makes a really great supper all by itself. We usually enjoy it on a hot summer night with tomatoes and zucchini picked straight from the garden, but when a craving hits, veggies from the grocery store will do. ;) I use ground turkey instead of sausage, and I spice the meat up while it cooks with red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and garlic. The dish is good with or without the cheese (did I just say that???). Make a big bowl of fruit for everyone to dip into for dessert, and you'll have a fulfilling, taste-filled meal!


Unstuffed Zucchini Sausage Casserole-4kowboys

1 medium zucchini
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb. of spicy sausage (as mentioned above: I use ground turkey and spice it up)
3 medium potatoes, cut into small cubes
1 medium yellow or red onion, chopped fine
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 large cloves garlic, finely minced
3 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/3 cup shredded fresh basil leaves, chopped
fresh oregano, thyme, sage, etc. to your taste (I would recommend 1/2 tsp. each fresh) (optional)
1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded



Cook and crumble sausage in large skillet until cooked through. Set aside. Add oil to pan. Add potatoes, onion, garlic, green pepper, zucchini, salt and pepper and saute until onions are clear and potatoes are browning on all sides. Add sausage and tomatoes to pan. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are soft and cooked through, about 20-25 mintues. Turn off stove and add cheese to top, recover and let melt
