Italian Sausage Casserole with Peppers and Mushrooms
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and get out your 9-by-9-inch 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,
