12 oz reduced fat pork sausage
1 cup chopped onions

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Here is how you make BBQ Bake:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.Put the chopped cauliflower, milk and water in a microwave safe container. Microwave for about eight minutes, or until the cauliflower is very soft. Add the butter and garlic powder, mash until it resembles slightly watery mashed potatoes. Spread in the bottom of a 9 by 9 inch pan.In a large skillet, cook the sausage and chopped onions together until the meat is no longer pink. Spread over the mashed cauliflower.Using a food processor (a manual one gives you more control), almost puree the diced tomatoes (with juice) until it looks like a slightly chunky tomato sauce. Pour in the skillet used to cook the sausage. Ad the tomato sauce, brown sugar, garlic, onion, and chili powders, paprika, and thyme. Cook over medium heat until it's a little thicker than barbecue sauce. Pour over the sausage. Evenly sprinkle the cheese over the pan.Bake at 350 for about fifteen minutes, or until the cheese begins to brown.Serving Size: Makes four servingsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MGWIFE.
