Sausage and Spinach Casserole is low-carb comfort food. This easy casserole is packed with Italian sausage, fresh spinach, and lots of melty mozzarella cheese!  Sausage and Spinach Casserole is a great weeknight meal or even a yummy breakfast.

Like most casserole dishes Sausage and Spinach Casserole is so easy to prepare. Simply saute the sausage and onion, and then mix in the rest of the ingredients. Transfer that mixture to a baking dish and pop it in the oven until everything is bubbling with flavor and the cheesy topping is just turning golden.

This casserole is a great option for meal prepping! It refrigerates well and reheats nicely in the microwave. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

I didn’t add spices because I think Italian sausage has plenty of flavor without adding more but feel free to add any extra seasonings you may like. Nutmeg or cinnamon would make an interesting addition.
