What a great casserole! The mushroom soup topping adds a different spin to a strata. I used more homemade croutons as I had them on hand and only a pound of sausage and it worked out fine. The flavors were great just like this, but I can see adding whatever vegetables are on hand. Diced red peppers, fresh mushrooms, onions, spinach, or my family even suggested minced jalapenos. I served this as "breakfast for dinner" with fresh fruit cups. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I made this for dinner last night, reduced to a single serving. That amount wanted 1/2 an egg. No way was I going to try to use half an egg so it got a whole one with no damage done. Also adapted for myself by using 2 Yve's brand veggie sausage patties (I love those!). It made an enjoyable dinner with a small fruit salad on the side. Thumbs up.

Very tasty. I made this for 'Make It Healthier' tag game. I used turkey Italian sausage, low fat cheddar cheese, skim milk, 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup. I also added 1/4 tsp. Penzey's pork chop seasoning for some added smokiness and 1/4 cayenne pepper for a bit of zip. I used 2 1/2 cups of milk, added the egg etc., but I also then mixed in the soup. I was concerned it would be too runny so I omitted the additional 1/2 cup milk. It turned out great. I used cornbread croutons for a bit of sweet to balance the zip. And I sauteed 1/2 cup of chopped green peppers which I sprinkled on top of the dish. This gave it a great flavor not to mention great color! Thanks for posting, Lauralie!
