Zucchini Sausage Stovetop Casserole Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a small bowl combine stuffing and butter. In a separate bowl combine zucchini, carrots, onion, soup and sour cream. Mix in 1/2 of the stuffing mixture, then spread into a 9x12 inch casserole dish and sprinkle the remaining stuffing on top.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes.

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.
