Zucchini Sausage Squares Recipes

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.

20 MINUTE SKILLET SAUSAGE & ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add sliced sausage. Sautè, flipping sausage frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes or until sausage slices have some browning. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil to skillet with the zucchini, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle with salt, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Stir. Let cook until the onion is translucent and peppers and zucchini are close to tender, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add sausage back to the skillet along with minced garlic. Stir. Cover so everything heats through for 1 to 2 minutes. Taste. Add extra salt if desired. Garnish with chopped fresh basil (optional).

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!
