This was a great no-carb recipe.

I made a few changes:

no cheddar cheese. Instead, I used 1/4c parmesan cheese in the mix and a little on top when baking.

No corn (I don?t like corn cooked in my food).

I added 1/2c tomato sauce and instead of ditching the zucchini seeds and insides, I blended them up in the food processor and added them to the sausage mix.

My husband and I loved this. The kids: not so much.
