Ingredients

3 medium Sweet Potatoes
2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
1/2 cup Milk
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup plain yogurt or Sour Cream
2 Tbsp Honey or Agave Nectar
1 tsp Lemon Pepper
1 Zucchini
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 small Yellow Onion
13oz Keilbasa Sausage
2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
1/2 Tbsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
3 Tbsp All-purpose Flour
1/2 cup your favorite Shredded Cheese (I used Mozzarella)

Instructions

Peel and then chop up your 3 sweet potatoes into cubes. Place into a large pot- fill it with water until the sweet potatoes are fully submerged. Turn your stovetop on high heat and bring it to a boil- then turn to medium-low and cover for about 10 minutes, until fork-tender.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, strain out the water and return to your pot. Turn your stove on low and add the 1/2 cup of milk and 2 Tbsp of Butter. Mash the sweet potatoes, then add and combine 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese, 1/4 cup Plain Yogurt, 2 Tbsp Honey, and 1 tsp Lemon Pepper. Set aside.
Chop up the sausage, Red Bell Pepper, and Onion. Peel, slice, and then half the zucchini. Drizzle a large skillet with olive oil, then add 2 Tbsp of Minced Garlic and cook for about two minutes. Now add the vegetables and sausage, cooking on medium until softened. Add in 1/2 Tbsp Montreal Steak Seasoning and Worcestershire sauce, along with the 3 Tbsp of Flour. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Once combined, put the vegetables and sausage into an oven-safe pan, somewhere between 8 and 9 inches. Spread the sweet potatoes on top, and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of your favorite shredded cheese. Cook for 10 minutes, then broil for an additional 2-3 minutes. Enjoy!

Steps 1&2 refer to using the oven-I suspect these steps are actually done on the stovetop.

Can this be frozen before being put in the oven?

  I would think so, but I haven’t tried that.
