Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces sausages (Italian, bratwurst, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the sausages for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove from the grill, slice them into thick rounds, and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet or casserole dish, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the sliced grilled sausages to the skillet and gently stir to incorporate them into the sauce and vegetables.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Transfer the skillet or casserole dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and enjoy your Grilled Sausage Casserole!
