Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage mild, hot, breakfast, or Italian
- 3 cups zucchini chopped into medium to small cubes
- ½ cup onion chopped
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 12 ounces cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until it is no longer pink. Stir periodically to crumble the sausage. Then spread the browned sausage in the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In the same skillet, add the butter, chopped zucchini, and onions. Cook them on medium heat until tender and the onions are opaque, stirring occasionally—about 5 minutes. Then spoon the cooked vegetables over the sausage in an even layer.
- While the zucchini and onions are cooking, mix the beaten egg, cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, and garlic salt in a medium bowl. Then, when the time comes, spoon the cottage cheese mixture over the cooked vegetables and spread it into a thin layer.
- Finally, topped the zucchini bake with the shredded cheddar cheese and baked the dish at 350°F for 30 minutes. Optional: Broil for 2 minutes to brown the cheese. Serve warm. Enjoy!
