I loved this dish. It was really good but when you finish eating it it feels like a bowling ball is in your stomach. As a result, I would make a few changes to the recipe the next time I make it.

Lower the butter amount to 2-3 tablespoons.This is plenty to cook the zucchini.

Lower the sausage amount to 1/2 pound or 1 pound. While the Italian sausage is key to the amazing taste, this may be the main reason why I felt like a bowling ball was in my stomach after eating.

Raise the cresent roll dough amount to 2 packages. I discovered that the dough brings all of the flavors together beautifully. One package was enough to spread out on the bottom, I think 2 packages will work great for the bottom and sides as well.

This is one of my go to potluck meals, love it. I usually just use a tablespoon of butter or so and always eyeball spices I have on hand. Thanks for posting, Im always digging for the recipe!

Just made this for dinner tonight and it was SO GOOD! It is a new favorite zucchini recipe for sure! I agree with others, it is delicious for dinner, but I think it would work just as well as a breakfast bake.

Note: I used 1/4 c. butter instead of the 1/2 c. the recipe called for. I think next time I will cut it down even more to 2 Tbsp. I also used Reduced-fat Crescent rolls and doubled (at least) the garlic powder, basil, & oregano.

Awesome, Awesome!! Took to family dinner and it was the favorite dish – even more than gma’s lasagnia! (Shhhhh…) Butter is never a bad thing, but with the moisture that renders from the zucchini it was just too much. I agree with Kelly that 1-2T butter or just a splash of olive oil would be plenty.

This was very tasty! I agree about the butter – it was an awful lot, but it all turned out very yummy. Thanks!

I made this tonight and it was very tasty! My 5 year old enjoyed it as well. I did think that 1/2 cup of butter was a little excessive to saute the onion and zucchini. So, I cut it in half. Even 1/4 was too much. Perhaps I will try olive oil next time and perhaps just 2 tablespoons. I am certain we will make this again. Thanks!

We had this for lunch today. I followed the recipe pretty closely, but I didn’t measure. It was easy to put together and turned out delicious. I will make this again.
