Grilled Sausage Casserole Food

GRILLED SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• This is soooo simple.
• Start the grill!
• While you are warming your coals or starting your gas grill, lightly coat the bottom of a metal 9x13 cake pan with shortening or pam to keep the potatoes from sticking.
• Scrub potatoes (or peel if you don't like the skin on your potatoes), clean zucchini, egg plant.
• Cut potatoes into bite size pieces and toss into bottom of pan.
• Cut the zucchini and eggplant just larger than bite size pieces and toss onto potatoes, next, cut the smoked sausage and brats into bite size pieces toss onto veggies-- (see, isn't this easy?).
• Sprinkle salt and pepper, parsley, and garlic powder on top of the pile, it will probably be stacked over the top of of the pan, don't worry-- Cover the pan with aluminum foil, poke a couple of holes in the top for ventilation.
• Toss on the grill for 20-30 minutes, until the potatoes are done.
• I usually make rice or pasta with it.

SAUSAGE PASTA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a shallow 3-quart baking dish with olive oil. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until very al dente; you still want it to retain a little bite. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the sausage and cook and crumble with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and fennel; cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt. Bring to a simmer and add the cream. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water from the pasta. Turn up the heat to medium high and simmer rapidly to thicken the sauce and blend the flavors, about 10 minutes.
• Add the rigatoni and basil and toss to coat the pasta with the sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in half each of the mozzarella and parmesan. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan. Bake until browned and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

GRILLED SAUSAGE WITH SPICY SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak 8 to 10 wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium and brush with the oil. Thread the sausage onto the skewers, leaving space between each piece. Grill until slightly crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Mix the ketchup, mustard and hot sauce in a bowl. Serve with the sausage for dipping.
• Serve this dish with Tangy Corn Relish.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high. Brush the corn with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Grill until golden and toasted on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes, turning as needed.
• Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the sweet piquante peppers, onion, gherkins, parsley, jalapeno and sugar in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Slice the corn kernels off the cobs and toss with the relish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PASTA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• After sausages are cooked, remove from pan and set aside.
• In a large pan, saute onion, peppers, zucchini, and garlic in olive oil until opaque.
• Season with cumin, thyme, basil, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
• Slice sausages into bite-size pieces, then add sausages, tomatoes, and pasta to the vegetables and stir.
