Italian Sausage Casserole with Peppers and Mushrooms

Add to favorites
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.
I found a good low-carb recipe online. I tweaked it to Zolify it and made it easier. This is the result. Yummy, comfort food.
Servings: Serves 4. Serve with a salad for a well-rounded meal. Ceasar salad kit will work well with little effort needed.
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbl olive oil
- 8 oz of mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms give a nice hearty flavor. White mushrooms are fine too.
- 8 oz of loose Italian sausage. You pick mild or hot.
- ½ of a red bell pepper cut into strips.
- ½ of a green bell pepper cut into strips. You can add more peppers if you would like.
- ¼ tsp Italian herb blend.
- ¼ tsp of a general seasoning or more Italian blend. I use a product called “Special Sh*t” – yep that’s the real name. It’s really good!
- Fresh ground pepper to taste.
- 1- 1/2 cups of grated mozzarella cheese.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and get out your 9 X 9” pan. Spray the pan with olive oil spray.
Get out two medium-sized sauté pans. Put a tablespoon of olive oil in each one.
Put the sausage in one pan and cook it on medium until it’s browned all the way through. While it’s cooking keep breaking it up into bite-sized chunks.
While that’s cooking put the mushrooms in the other sauté pan and cook them until they begin to brown and most of the moisture has boiled off. When they are done, transfer the mushrooms to the bottom of the casserole pan.
In the pan used for mushrooms add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the pepper strips until they are loose. They will cook more in the oven, so they don’t have to be wilted before they go in the pan.
Layer the peppers over the mushrooms and then season with the Italian herb blend, the peppers, and your other seasoning of choice.
Now layer your browned sausage on top and cover with the mozzarella.
Bake for about 25 minutes until the dish is all cheesy and hot.
Enjoy!
Cheers,

The sweetness of the apricot jam combined with the mild bite of the fresh, cracked black pepper corns and the smokiness of the ham make for a savory combination of flavors.
