I halved the flour and replaced the milk with whipping cream for my low carb diet. I froze leftovers and use them for an easy and quick low carb breakfast. Wonderful!

You've got yourself a winner with this recipe! I don't care for mushrooms so I left them out and added extra sausage (16 oz instead of 8). I had 4 cups of mozzarella and 2 of cheddar so that's what I used for cheese. I love the red peppers, they give the perfect flavor without overwhelming everything. Thanks for posting, I'll be using this a lot!

This recipe is AWESOME! I've made it several times now and each time I change it up a bit. I get rave reviews each time I make it. One thing I always do is also sauteed white or yellow onion with the mushrooms and peppers. (I also only use fresh mushrooms) I buy the pre-cooked Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles and it tastes GREAT! I made this for the teachers at my daughters school and I've had to make copies of the recipe for ALL of them. Super yummy!
