Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x11-inch casserole pan with cooking spray.

  2. Place zucchini in a pot with 1/4 cup water. Cover and bring to a boil. Boil until almost tender but still firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and return zucchini to the pot.

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage, breaking it up into small pieces, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease, remove sausage from the skillet. Cook and stir onion in the same skillet until just translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.

  4. Mix butter into 1/2 of the stuffing mix. Add to the zucchini mixture and mix well.

  5. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add a small amount of the hot sausage to the eggs, stir well. Add remaining sausage, onion, and zucchini-stuffing mixture. Pour filling into the prepared pan.

  6. Mix remaining stuffing together with 1/4 cup water to get a spreadable consistency. Add more water if too dry. Spread mixture over the top.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 30 minutes.

Recipe Note

Incredibly rich and flavorful zucchini casserole. I developed this recipe in a quest for a meal that has plenty of flavor, is relatively low in calories, and can be eaten by my son, who has a milk allergy.
