A mix of sausage and summer squash are used in this low carb gluten free squash casserole with cheese. It's a tasty way to enjoy your garden produce.
The summer vegetables are ripening in the garden. And I needed to find an easy dish to prepare for dinner.
I had already thawed some ground sausage so I decided to mix it into a standard keto squash casserole recipe.
The result was amazing! Very tasty.
The mayonnaise gives this low carb gluten free sausage squash casserole with cheese a nice tangy flavor.
If you don't like mayonnaise, you can probably use sour cream or yogurt in its place. But, I love using healthier avocado mayo in casseroles.
I also sweetened it up a bit by adding a packet of stevia sweetener. You can leave that out if you prefer a more savory flavor.
One packet of sweetener is equal to about 2 teaspoons of sugar equivalent so feel free to use a bulk sweetener if you'd like.
The photos for this recipe were updated in February 2016, over five years after the original recipe was posted.
My food photography skills have improved greatly over that time. However, I still like how the dish came out originally.
Here's the original recipe photo:
What do you think? I believe I've come a long way since I first started this low carb blog in July 2010!
Not only have my photos improved over the years, but so has my cooking!
I openly admit that I wasn't great at cooking when I first started this blog. My skills were mainly in baking, not regular savory meals.
I have since learned a lot about food and cooking in general by tweaking and developing my low carb recipes for this blog.
A lot of my earlier recipes like this low carb gluten free sausage squash casserole haven't deserved the love they truly deserve due to the poor photos.
So I've been taking some time to make some of my older recipes and reshoot new pictures for them.
2015 was a real turning point for me and this food blog.
In January 2015, the name was changed from SugarFreeLowCarbRecipes.com to LowCarbYum.com which made it easier to promote.
The new name is shorter and easier to remember. It's also much simpler to type into a web browser!

I could eat this every day. I have been making your Recipe for years and I can bring it to get together sand is always gone in minutes.
Sometimes I just make it without the meat, and is still yummy 😋
Thank you!!

This was REALLY good!! Ironically, I had planned on making your sausage egg casserole with spinach that you have in your new cookbook, but I had some squash I needed to use, so when I found this recipe, I decided to make this one instead, and it was SO tasty!! The only change I made was that I didn't have any zucchini, but I had exactly 3 squash, so I just used all 3 of those instead of 2 squash and 1 zucchini. Anyway, I highly recommend this recipe, and next time I'll try the one from the cookbook. Oh, and I didn't add the sweetener - and my hubby put hot sauce on the finished product - but he puts hot sauce on everything! 😁

This was so good!!! I used venison sausage because that's what I had on hand! Delicious! Also, I crushed just like a handful of pork rinds on the top for crunch! Thank you for this recipe! I really didn't expect it to turn out as good as it did!

I tried making this without the sausage due to Lent. Not sure if that would have helped, but mayo was a bit overpowering. I think in future attempts I'll substitute with sour cream or heavy cream.

If the sausage is left out, other ingredients need to be adjusted.
