Ingredients

2 packs Italian Sausage (10 Sausages either hot or mild)
½ cup water
24 or 25.5 oz Low Carb Marinara Sauce (with no added sugar) *see list below of sauce options
1 ½ cup mozzarella cheese
¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
¼ tsp Italian seasonings
¼ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp basil seasoning
⅛ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Brown Italian sausage links in a skillet set over medium heat on both sides.
Add ½ cup water and simmer on low with the lid on for 8 min.
Put sausages in a greased 9 x 13 casserole dish.
Pour 24 oz marinara sauce over the top.
Sprinkle 1 ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese over top of your sausages.
Sprinkle seasoning on top of cheeses.
Bake in a 375°F oven and for 18 minutes, then move to the top rack of the oven for the last 2 minutes. If you like the cheese extra bubbly and browned, you can turn the oven to broil for the last minute but watch closely!
Allow to slightly cool before serving.
