Italian Sausage and Spinach Casserole

You guys, this Italian Sausage and Spinach Casserole is Paleo-friendly, a dinnertime wonder that will please your whole family.

Made with Italian sausage (my favorite), spinach, eggs, tomato sauce, mushrooms, and few other veggies, this casserole will become one of your most loved dinner/lunch recipes.

You can eat it now, or slice it up and toss it in the fridge for the coming week! Sounds perfect, right? Moreover, while this Italian Sausage and Spinach Casserole bakes in the oven, you will be left with some free time to mix together a big green salad or additional sauce.

You can also try this Chicken Broccoli Casserole or this one-skillet Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken. They are awesome as well.

But let’s get to the point.

Italian Sausage and Spinach Casserole Ingredients:

Italian Sausage: A pound of any type of sausage that you prefer (I used Italian sausage)

Veggies: I used a combination of mushrooms, spinach, onion, carrots, and garlic. Have I mentioned before that I LOVE garlic?

Herbs: I used oregano but you can use whatever you have on hand.

Eggs: Finally, we will use a few eggs to bind the sausage and the rest of the ingredients together.

How to make this Italian Sausage and Spinach Casserole:

Sauté! In a large non-stick sauté pan, sauté the veggies (onions, carrots, and mushrooms) and cook until the moisture has evaporated from the mushrooms and the vegetables have softened – about 7 – 10 minutes. Season with salt and a pinch of pepper. Stir to incorporate and then transfer to a greased baking pan.

The Italian Sausage – Decrease the heat to medium, and add the sausage to the now-empty skillet. Break up the meat with a spatula and cook, until it’s no longer pink – about 5 to 7 minutes.

Spinach time: Add the spinach and stir to combine. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute.

The sauce: our in the tomato sauce and add the oregano. Season with salt and pepper and stir well to incorporate. Then transfer the sausage mixture in the casserole pan.
