Recipe With Pork Sausage Casserole

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage, breaking it into smaller pieces with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

4. Stir in the carrots, celery, and red bell pepper, cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

5. Add the diced tomatoes with their juices, chicken broth, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients and bring to a simmer.

6. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the liquid to reduce slightly.

7. Transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture to the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

8. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

9. Once cooked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of freshness.
