Braseltouille is a meatier, more flavorful take on the classic French dish, ratatouille. Rather than a vegetarian dish, Braseltouille is packed with spicy ground sausage and topped with shredded cheese, making it a hearty and satisfying meal. A medley of colorful vegetables including zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, and onions are sautéed until tender, then combined with diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. The mixture is then topped with a generous amount of melted cheddar cheese and baked until bubbly. The dish is perfect for a cozy night in or for serving to a group of hungry guests.

6.Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish and top with shredded Cheddar cheese.
7.Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
