I did follow the recipe with a few exceptions.... I left out the hot sauce for those of us with sensitive stomachs. I also used red (sweet onions) for a better taste. I only had a few sausage links so I quickly browned them in the microwave & then chopped them up. I also used the cornbread stuffing that I had on hand & dumped it into the egg mixture instead of the topping.I also used an assortment of seasonings. End results were tender & delicious!! I will most definitely make this one again!

Excellent casserole! Great blend of flavors. I omitted the salt also, since the season salt was added, and did not add the hot sauce because some people don't like it and it could be added at serving. I also used green onions instead of chives, and sage sausage instead of spicy, because that is what I had on hand. Would be super colorful with some diced red bell pepper. Definitely will be making this again!

Well, I substituted red onion for the chives, used cornbread stuffing & then mixed with the egg mixture and used the Mexican style cheese. I also increased the recipe to a dozen eggs and added additional ingredients accordingly. I also used oregano, parsley, garlic, & Italian seasoning salts for an added kick!
