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.

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.

This was a quick and easy meal to make. It was also very affordable. I used store-brand ingredients, and it still turned out great. I would definitely make this again.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices, and it was much better. I also think it would be better with a different type of cheese. I used cheddar, but I think a sharp cheddar or mozzarella would be better.

This was a great recipe. It was easy to follow and the casserole turned out delicious. I used ground turkey instead of sausage, and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but this casserole was surprisingly good. The zucchini was not overpowering, and the sausage and cheese gave it a great flavor. I would definitely make this again.

This casserole was amazing! I used Italian sausage, and it gave the dish a wonderful flavor. I also added a little bit of red pepper flakes for a bit of spice. It was a perfect meal for a cold night.
