This summer squash sausage skillet combines caramelized onions and summer squash with Italian sausage for an easy one-pan meal that’s low in carbs and calories!

Summer Squash Sausage Skillet
water
2 Italian sausage links (6 oz)
1 medium summer squash (12 oz)
½ Vidalia or sweet onion
4 tbsp butter
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried rosemary
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Pour water into a skillet until it measures ½“ and put on the stove over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage links and simmer, turning occasionally, until sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160℉, 12-15 minutes.
While the sausage is cooking, cut summer squash into ¼“ rounds and thinly slice the onion.
Remove sausage from skillet and turn heat to medium-low. Put butter, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt and pepper in the skillet. Allow butter to melt and add squash and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and squash are soft and caramelized, about 45 minutes. Add more butter, if necessary, to keep the food from sticking.
While the vegetables are cooking, slice sausage into rounds. Add the pan when vegetables are done and heat through.
Serve immediately.

I love the dark theme here to help make reading easier, especially at night. More so, The shortened paragraphs make it real easy for me to read and digest (pun intended in this mug).
