This makes for a great pizza flavored casserole dish Kitten. Something that would be easy enough to assemble ahead and freeze or make/bake for giving to others. As you can see I didn't have mozzarella and used shredded cheddar. Also, omitted the mushrooms. This one is going into favorites...Thanks Kit...another winner!!! Tagged for 123HitWonders 08'

Good casserole Kittencal! My 3 year ate two helpings and hubby declared it a winner too. I used fresh mushrooms and sauteed them along with the sausage and onion and used spaghetti sauce instead of pizza sauce, since that's what I had on hand. It was very yummy and I'll be making it again!
