Sausage Squares With Zucchini And Cheese Recipes

CHEESY SAUSAGE ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Combine the rice and water in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Cook sausage and onion in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until evenly browned. Drain excess grease. Stir in zucchini and tomatoes, and cook until tender. Stir in rice, mushrooms, and cheese. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish, or a 2 quart casserole dish.
• Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned and bubbly.

CHEESY ZUCCHINI SAUSAGE & MUSHROOM SQUARES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• 2. In a large skillet, add olive oil. Over medium heat, once oil is hot, add your onion, garlic and zucchini. Cook this mixture just until the onion becomes translucent, garlic and zucchini become tender...about 5 minutes. Place this mixture into a large bowl.
• 3. In the same skillet, brown the sausage along with the mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook until sausage is no longer pink. Drain and pour this mixture into the same bowl as the onion mixture.
• 4. Add all remaining ingredients, except for the Parmesan cheese. Mix all until well combined and pour into prepared baking dish.
• 5. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until pick comes out clean in the center of the bars.
• 6. Leave cool a few minutes, then cut into squares. As I said, these can be eaten warm or room temperature. With or without a sauce. I usually serve with sour cream. Enjoy!

EASY CHEESY ZUCCHINI SQUARES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Mist the inside of a 7x11 glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• 2. Stir together the zucchini and salt in a colander and let drain 15 minutes. Press out the liquid; let drain another 15 minutes. Pick up small handfuls of zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible; transfer to a small bowl.
• 3. Whisk together flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
• 4. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until blended, then whisk in the oil, lemon pepper and thyme. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and mix well.
• 5. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the zucchini, onion and cheese. The batter will be very stiff. Scrape it into the prepared baking dish and press evenly into the corners.
• 6. Bake until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
• 7. I have reheated the leftovers the next day and it was just as good maybe even better!
