Ingredients
1 pound Ground sausage
1 Small onion, diced
3 Small zucchinis, diced
3 Small yellow squashes, diced
3 Medium potatoes, peeled and diced
14½ ounces Canned Italian stewed tomatoes, low-sodium
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground sausage with the diced onion, breaking up the meat as it browns, until the sausage is fully cooked and no longer pink (internal temperature 160°F). Drain off excess fat from the skillet.
In a large casserole dish, combine the cooked sausage and onion mixture with the diced zucchini, yellow squash, diced potatoes, and canned tomatoes with their liquid. Stir well to blend all ingredients evenly.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and place in the preheated 350°F oven. Bake for 45 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the vegetables are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Comments
This is a straightforward casserole built on summer squash and sausage—all readily available at any Charlotte grocery chain year-round, though zucchini and yellow squash will be cheaper and better June through September. The stated 60 minutes is honest if you account for chopping the vegetables and sausage browning, though a home cook will likely spend 70 to 75 minutes total. Cost per serving lands around $2 to $2.50, driven primarily by the sausage; a budget pound of Jimmy Dean or Food Lion house brand keeps it reasonable. It's a solid family dish that reheats well and doesn't demand constant attention once it hits the oven, making it practical for a weeknight, though it's neither distinctive nor particularly seasonal for the region—this could be Nebraska as easily as North Carolina.
