Ingredients for this Sausage Casserole Ninja Foodi Recipe

Gather the following to make this sausage casserole in the Ninja Foodi, but be sure to check the substitutions section below for alternative ingredients. And see the FAQs section for tips on making this a low carb or vegetarian recipe.

Substitutions

Italian sausage I think Italian sausage gives the best flavor to this recipe, but you could also use smoked sausage, kielbasa, bratwurst, or a specialty/flavored sausage.

Potato White, red, or yellow potatoes are perfect in this recipe, but you could substitute other vegetables for them. Try rutabagas or turnips as a low carb alternative.

Broth I created the recipe with chicken broth because that’s what I had on hand at the time. But you could use beef broth or vegetable broth if you like.

Tips for making this recipe

How can I make this Ninja Foodi sausage casserole low carb?

This recipe is already considered low carb, but if you wanted to low the carb count even more, you could use less potatoes or none at all. You could also substitute a low carb vegetable, like rutabaga or parsnip for the potato.

How can I make a vegetarian sausage casserole?

There are some great-tasting plant-based sausages you could use instead of the Italian sausage. Then just swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth. Also, make sure the Worcestershire sauce you use is vegetarian/vegan.

What goes good with sausage casserole?

My favorite accompaniment for this recipe is buttery slices of French bread to soak up the tomato broth. But I’ve also sprinkled some plain croutons and oyster crackers on top, and it was delicious. For an extra hearty meal, add your favorite grilled sandwich as a side.
