Sausage Pie

This is a lightened up version of a recipe I found on tasteofhome.com. To make the soft breadcrumbs, place a few slices of bread in a blender or food processor and process until crumbly.

Directions

1. Place sausages on a rack in a baking pan. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned and no longer pink. Cut into 1-in. pieces; set aside.
2. In a large skillet, saute peppers in oil for 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Transfer to a 3-qt. baking dish. Add the sausages and the next eight ingredients. Combine bread crumbs and butter; sprinkle over top. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until heated through.
