Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash and slice the zucchini into approximately 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes slightly tender but not fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise salad dressing, beaten eggs, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Add the sliced Vienna sausage and cooked zucchini into the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious low-carb sausage and zucchini casserole!
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Zucchini: Opt for zucchini that are firm and free from blemishes to ensure the best texture and flavor in your casserole.
- Drain the Sausage: If using canned Vienna sausages, be sure to drain them well to prevent excess moisture in your casserole.
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Bake Until Golden: Make sure to bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and bubbling for the best texture and taste.
- Serve Hot: This casserole is best enjoyed hot, so serve it straight from the oven for maximum flavor.
Enjoy this hearty and comforting low-carb sausage and zucchini casserole fresh out of the oven. It's a simple, yet flavorful dish that delivers on both taste and nutrition. Pair it with a fresh salad to complete your meal, or simply savor it on its own. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated for a quick and delicious meal anytime.
