Lower Carb Italian Sausage Casserole

Course casserole
Cuisine Italian
Author Meghan Gray

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lb Sweet Italian Sausage I used links, but ground is fine
  • 5 zucchini washed and sliced (really it was about 4.5. I started with six.)
  • 1 28 oz jar of tomato sauce
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
  • 3 large garlic cloves pressed
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese or low fat mozzarella, if you prefer.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a large casserole dish, layer your ingredients as follows: Sausage, zucchini, corn, onion and garlic, tomato sauce, cheese.
  3. Bake, covered, at 400 for 45 minutes.
  4. Remove cover and bake 15 minutes more until sauce is bubbly and cheese is browned.

Recipe Notes

This casserole was rather wet. It teetered on the line of becoming a stew. If you'd like yours not to be so wet, use 2 14 oz cans of diced tomatoes and drain them before you add them instead of using the tomato sauce!
