This casserole sure doesn't look pretty, but like mama always said, "it's what's on the inside that counts." 😉
And how's it taste? Think of like... a super loaded baked polenta type thing. Seriously. Try this.
P.S. Normally I'm not a "use a whole stick of butter" person, but it really is needed in this case to help keep the casserole moist while baking, and this dish makes a LOT. Amount of servings just depend if you're using it as a side or main dish. Great for potlucks!

Steps

1

Prep: Cut sausage, zucchini, and yellow squash in half lengthwise, then slice to 1/2"thick slices. Clean and quarter mushrooms. Chop onion to 1/2" pieces. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2

Melt butter in a large, deep sided sautée pan over medium heat. Add all ingredients prepped in step 1. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until veggies begin to just soften, stirring often. About 10 minutes.
3

Add tomatoes with juices. Use spoon to break up some of the tomato slices into smaller pieces. Stir in water. Simmer 5 more minutes.
4

Turn off heat. Combine corn meal and flour in a medium bowl. Add to veggie mixture. Stir to combine. It will look gloppy and pastey. This is good. Lol
5

Press mixture into a greased 9x13" casserole. Bake uncovered 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Let sit 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.

I was encouraged to try your recipe because it reminded me of my favorite casserole recipe from my mom. It, too, is cornmeal-based, but that's where the similarity ends. I found the flavor of your casserole quite tasty, but I have to disagree about it being all that "ugly." That is to say, I've seen worse! I keep a personal (not posted online anywhere) library of the recipes I use. For that library, I created a document for your recipe; my recipe documents always include a photo. I took my own photo so it would fit in better with the format I use. If you're interested in seeing my photo of your casserole (plated up, not in the baking dish), let me know.
