PATTY PAN SQUASH AND RICE CASSEROLE

Patty Pan Squash and Rice Casserole image

This patty pan squash casserole recipe was inspired by my sister-in-law's mother's recipe. She lives on a farm and they make their own sausage and grow their own vegetables. It can be changed up very easily.

Ingredients

2 patty pan squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup uncooked white rice
40 ounces diced tomatoes with juice
1 cup water
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Peel squash and cut into 1-inch cubes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and onion; cook and stir until onion is translucent and sausage is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
Stir in rice; saute until rice is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a Dutch oven, add tomatoes and water, and season with salt and pepper.
Bake, covered, until bubbly and rice is cooked through, about 1 hour.
