  • 3 small zucchinis (diced)
  • 3 small yellow squashes (diced)
  • 3 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 can low-sodium canned tomatoes (14.5 oz Italian stewed)

  2. Preheat oven to 350 °F.
  3. Brown sausage and onion together in a skillet; drain.

If I make this again, I will pre-cook the vegetables, particularly the potatoes, before putting together for the oven-- as the vegetables were not cooked enough in 45 minutes. Also, I had to drain off quite a lot of the liquid after cooking in the oven. To add a little more flavor, I added (about 1/4 cup) low fat mozzarella cheese.

This is ok. Nothing holds it together so it's not a typical casserole consistency, it's just loose veggies with meat. Simple way to get lots of veggies with some flavor from the sausage.
