Ingredients
- 12 oz Italian bread, do not use slices; use in loaf form
- 2 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), peeled and smashed (or to taste)
- 1 large uncooked red onion(s), cut into thin wedges
- 4 cup(s) uncooked broccoli, florets
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 12 oz uncooked turkey sausage(s), sweet Italian-variety
- 1 cup(s) canned chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp table salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 spray(s) cooking spray
- 3/4 cup(s) low fat shredded cheddar cheese, sharp-variety
Direction
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Slice bread in half length-wise; rub insides with garlic clove. Place bread, open-face, on one side of a baking sheet; spread onion on other side. Place broccoli on another baking sheet. Coat vegetables and bread with cooking spray. Bake until broccoli is tender, flipping bread over and stirring vegetables halfway through, about 15 to 20 minutes total. Remove pans from oven and cut bread into 1/2-inch cubes; reduce oven temperature to 350ºF.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove sausage from casing; cook sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in broccoli and onion, bread cubes, broth, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. (Make sure to scrape up any browned bits of food on sides of skillet and stir into mixture.)
- Coat a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon 3 cups broccoli mixture into prepared dish; sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Top with remaining broccoli mixture; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and casserole is heated through, about 30 minutes. Slice into 8 pieces and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving.
Happy Monday Everyone! I haven't done a monthly recipe post in over 2 month. Due to I wasn't cooking much. Due to getting ready for my move back to the states and living in a hotel for 3 week. Now that I'm back in the state and staying with my friends. I have gotten back in the grove of cooking again. Plus back to eating some what health again.
Last week I decide to make a favorite Casserole of mine. Which is super health for you. Plus you can eat it on weight watcher. Since it is 6+ points. Mind you the points are with the old point system. So I'm not sure what it would be now. Since I have drop the weight watcher program for the time being. I plan on getting back on it again. When I move in to my house.
My friends loved this casserole that they even got second. So did Ant and me. Since it was a big casserole. We even had some leftover for our lunch for the next day.
HAVE A GREAT MONDAY!
