Zucchini Sausage Casserole 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.

EASY BAKED SAUSAGE AND ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Toss the zucchini slices with kosher salt. Place into a colander and set over the sink to drain for 30 minutes. Pat very dry and remove as much salt as possible at the end.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and adjust the oven rack to the middle position.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. After it has heat up for about 1 minute, add onions with Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5 minutes until soft, stirring frequently.
• Add sausage and cook while breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon for about 7-8 minutes until browned. Add garlic and cook for about a minute, stirring frequently until fragrant. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a bowl. Stir in artichoke hearts and salt & pepper.
• Add mixture to a 1.75 quart baking dish and layer zucchini rounds in between. Evenly distribute the broth on top of the dish. Cover with red sauce and cheese.
• Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes until zucchini is slightly golden around the edges and the cheese has melted. Feel free to do a low broil the last few minutes, too. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

STUFFED ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Grease or spray a 13x9 inch baking dish.
• Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. With a spoon, scoop out the seeds. Chop and reserve about 3/4 of the seeds for the stuffing. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, sausage, chopped onion, bread crumbs, egg and the reserved zucchini seeds. Place the meat mixture equally into all of the zucchini halves; mixture should be piled up over the top. Place the filled zucchini halves into the prepared baking dish.
• In a bowl, stir together the crushed tomatoes, tomato soup, and water. Spoon the tomato mixture over the filled zucchini, liberally. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes. You may want to place foil or a cookie sheet underneath the baking dish because it tends to bubble over and splash.

SAUSAGE ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Parboil zucchini. Sauté pork sausage and onions drain off fat.
• Combine zucchini, sausage, onions, spices and eggs in a casserole dish. Top with bread crumbs and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minute Serves 4-6.

ZUCCHINI AND SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a wide, 2-quart baking dish, or spray it with nonstick spray.
• Put the zucchini in a colander to drain for about 30 minutes, or wrap it in a clean tea towel and gently squeeze it to remove the excess liquid. Put the zucchini in a large mixing bowl.
• Heat a large skillet and add the sausage. Cook until the sausage starts to brown, stirring to break it up. Pour off all but about 3 tablespoons grease. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Combine the sausage and onions with the zucchini.
• Stir in the cream, bread crumbs, eggs, cheese, and the pecans. Add salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste. Pour the mixture into the baking dish. The casserole may be refrigerated at this point for up to 2 days or frozen.
• For the topping, combine the butter, bread crumbs, and the pecans. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole. Bake, uncovered, about 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle the top with the 1/2 cup cheese and return to the oven just until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
