Sue said the the other day she wanted to do a casserole dish with a turkey kielbasa we had in the freezer. So she got out her Taste of Home 9x13 cookbook and found a new casserole recipe.
When she showed me the recipe I said let's do it in the CI pans and received a resounding YES from her. We use the recipe as a starting point and made some modifications. Here goes.
Here are the ingredients prior to getting them cooked.
Add the olive oil, carrots, onions and zukes to cook and render a bit, 5-6 minutes.
Stir in tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
Then add the kielbasa and macaroni.
Oiled the 8" CI pans with canola oil, and added 1/2 the mixture from the skillet as layer 1.
Mixed up egg with cottage cheese and put on top, then covered that with little of the mozz and cheddar.
Added the remainder of the mixture from the skillet to the CI pans and topped with the rest of the mozz and cheddar.
Then into the preheated grill indirect heat @350 for 30-35 minutes.
Off the grill and into the house to cool a bit and get plated.
Here it is the money shot!
One plate meal as it already had protein, starch and the dreaded vegetables in it.....
Thanks for lookin' and stay safe!
