Sausage Summer Squash Casserole image

I like to mix it up and add a little color by using zucchini for half the amount of squash but use what you have or what you like. The sausage makes it different than other squash casseroles. I could eat it as a main dish casserole!

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1-pound package breakfast sausage or 1 pound venison sausage ((Venison Sausage is always an option at my house))
3 medium yellow or zucchini squash (sliced (about 4 cups))
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk or whipping cream
1 clove garlic minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup toasted fresh breadcrumbs or 1/3 cup fine dry breadcrumbs ((or 1/2 cup shredded Colby Jack for Keto diet))
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (plus 2 tablespoons for topping)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring to crumble the sausage as it cooks, until browned; drain and discard drippings.
  • Steam the squash in the microwave by placing it in a large microwave-safe glass bowl; add 2 tablespoon water. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave at HIGH for 3 minutes. Carefully remove the plastic wrap and drain any water in the bowl.
  • To avoid washing a second bowl, push squash to one side of the bowl. In the other side of the bowl, whisk together eggs; gradually add milk. Toss egg mixture and squash together. Add garlic and remaining ingredients and stir together gently.
  • Spoon squash mixture into a greased 11/2-quart casserole dish and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly around the edges.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
10 ounces frozen diced butternut squash (about 1 1/2 cups)
One 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 16-ounce tube ready-made polenta
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for greasing the dish
5 ounces fontina cheese, thinly sliced (1 1/4 cups)
1 ounce grated Parmesan (about 1/4 cup)
5 ounces baby spinach (about 6 cups)
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack about 5 inches from the broiling element, and preheat the broiler.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, thinly slice the onion; set aside about 1/3 cup for the salad.
  • Add the sausage to the pan, and break it up into smaller chunks with a wooden spoon. Stir periodically until it is brown all over, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining onion and the squash. Stir for a minute, then add the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover partially, and let simmer vigorously, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thick, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice the polenta into 1/4-inch rounds. Butter the flameproof baking dish, and shingle the rounds in one layer. Dot the polenta with the pieces of butter. Place the dish under the broiler, and broil the polenta until it is hot and soft, about 4 minutes.
  • When the sauce is ready, spread it over the broiled polenta. Top with the fontina and grated Parmesan. Return the casserole to the broiler, and broil until the top is browned and bubbly, about 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the spinach in a large bowl with the reserved onion, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve the casserole with the spinach salad on the side.
