This is a Morningstar Farms recipe. Both my husband and I love their veggie breakfast sausage and will definitely try this recipe - it sounds delicious! Mozzarella, or any other cheese of your choice, may be substituted for cheddar. Egg Substitute (2 cups) may also be substituted for whole eggs for a healthier version.

Potato Spinach Sausage Casserole image

This recipe comes from the charter issue of a new magazine called Cook's Country, a magazine devoted to home cooking.

Provided by Sandylee

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 Casserole, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra to grease the baking dish
2 teaspoons olive oil
8 ounces fresh spinach, washed, dried, and stemmed
1/2 lb Italian sausage, broken out of casing into small pieces
1 large red onion, peeled and sliced thin
1 small garlic clove, minced
3 medium sized russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chuncks
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chicken broth
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 dash nutmeg
3/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded gruyere or 1 cup swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Butter a 6x9 or 8x8 inch baking dish.
  • Heat one of the teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add spinach and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer spinach to strainer and drain. When cool, squeeze out liquid and roughly chop the spinach.
  • Wipe skillet clean. Add sausage to skillet and cook over medium-high heat until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Use slotted spoon to transfer sausage to bowl. Wipe skillet clean. Heat remaining oil in skillet and add onions, cooking until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Scrape mixture into bowl with sausage.
  • Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring potatoes to boil over high heat, then lower heat to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes, wipe pot dry, put potatoes back into the pot, and mash with butter, cream, broth, vinegar, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Stir in spinach and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
  • Transfer potato-spinach mixture to prepared baking dish. Top with sausage-onion mixture and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake until potatoes are very hot and cheese is golden and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked sausage or Italian sausage links.
  • If you don't have a food processor, finely chop the spinach and onion by hand.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the sausage and vegetables. This will help prevent overcrowding and ensure that everything cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. It should be wilted but still retain its bright green color.
  • Be sure to drain the spinach well before adding it to the casserole. This will help prevent the casserole from being watery.
  • Use a 9x13 inch baking dish for this casserole. A smaller dish will make the casserole too thick, while a larger dish will make it too thin.
  • Bake the casserole until the center is set and the top is golden brown. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld together.

Conclusion:

This vegetarian spinach, cheese, and sausage casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. The casserole is packed with flavor and is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy vegetarian meal, give this casserole a try.
