Ugly Smoked Sausage Casserole

This casserole sure doesn't look pretty, but like mama always said, "it's what's on the inside that counts." 😉 And how's it taste? Think of like... a super loaded baked polenta type thing. Seriously. Try this. P.S. Normally I'm not a "use a whole stick of butter" person, but it really is needed in this case to help keep the casserole moist while baking, and this dish makes a LOT. Amount of servings just depend if you're using it as a side or main dish. Great for potlucks!

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Prep: Cut sausage, zucchini, and yellow squash in half lengthwise, then slice to 1/2"thick slices. Clean and quarter mushrooms. Chop onion to 1/2" pieces. Preheat oven to 350°F.

* Step 2

Melt butter in a large, deep sided sautée pan over medium heat. Add all ingredients prepped in step 1. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until veggies begin to just soften, stirring often. About 10 minutes.

* Step 3

Add tomatoes with juices. Use spoon to break up some of the tomato slices into smaller pieces. Stir in water. Simmer 5 more minutes.

* Step 4

Turn off heat. Combine corn meal and flour in a medium bowl. Add to veggie mixture. Stir to combine. It will look gloppy and pastey. This is good. Lol
