Italian Skillet Casserole

This is currently our family’s favorite meal! It pleases parents, young adults, and teens alike. It is flavorful and contains numerous hidden veggies! I quadruple the recipe to ensure leftovers for lunches. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Avocado oil (I use avocado oil spray)

1 lb chicken sausage (I find mine at Sprouts) or Italian sausage

3 cloves garlic (try Trader Joe’s frozen cubes for ease)

1/2 onion chopped

1/2 bell pepper chopped

1/2 cup pureed carrots

1/2 zucchini chopped

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

2 cans of diced tomatoes

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp parsley

1 tsp sea salt or Himalayan salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450

Heat oil in cast iron skillet (I use 2 skillets to quadruple the recipe, 2 lbs sausage in each pan)

Add garlic, bell pepper and onion and cook until wilted

Add sausage, cook, breaking it up until browned

Add zucchini, tomatoes and spinach and stir until wilted

Add seasonings

Transfer skillet(s) to oven an bake for 12 minutes

Serve with your favorite toppings. I serve with avocado, but you could also offer cheese and sour cream.
