For dairy-free, skip the cheese or use a plant-based melt. For gluten-free, replace the couscous with rice or quinoa; if you want a lighter option, use turkey or plant-based sausage in place of the chicken sausage.
What to serve with it
Serve with a simple green salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables to balance the rich sausage and couscous filling. A crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon also works well for a fresh, easy dinner.
