This recipe offers a delightful twist on a classic casserole, combining hearty Italian sausage with vibrant vegetables for a satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to maintain consistent cooking temperature.
Chop the green pepper, onion, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Cut the vegetables evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
In a large casserole dish, combine the chopped vegetables, Italian sausage, dried basil, minced garlic, and canned diced tomatoes.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture and ensures even cooking.
Remove the foil and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Return to the oven uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
Baking uncovered allows the cheese to melt and form a golden crust.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal!
Allowing the dish to rest helps the flavors meld together.
