Great flavor, wasn't sure because of no additional spices - but wonderful as is. That said, I wasn't sure why I needed water while browning the sausage, but did it...will not next time. Will - and think this is critical - run cold water over the sausage b4 mixing w/egg - it was so hot it punched holes in the dough in some places. As for time and servings, I'd say 1 hour start to finish and at least 4 servings. Very Good - will use again but with COLD sausage next time! Spring 2009 Pac Orphanage!
