Delicious Brat Casserole

AB_Fan's Note:

You can use bratwurst, Italian sausage, polska kielbasa, weisswurst, or even breakfast sausage for this recipe. It's a delicious way to use up those extra brats in your freezer, and tastes wonderful in the winter when grilling season seems far, far away.

Quite good. I used some spicy homemade venison sausage that had been in the freezer a full year. They were on the dry side, so this recipe disguised them very well. I used leftover asparagus instead of beans; that was good.

This was awesome!~comfort food at its finest! We love grilled brats in the summertime~this will be a new fall/winter favorite. Didn't have green beans on hand-didn't seem as though anything was lacking. Served with Weinkraut R#170997, accompanied it very nicely!

This was excellent. I get sick of brats during the summer but my family doesn't, so thought I'd try something different for their favorite. I used frozen diced potatoes instead of fresh and it still worked great. I did add extra brats as the other reviewers suggested and my husband and 2 year old daughter loved it.
