We really enjoyed this Casserole. I used close to a pound of sausage and omitted the zucchini because I couldn't find any that looked good. The cheese sauce really set this apart from other casseroles. All in all very good & it reheated great. Served with a big salad & garlic bread. Made for PAC Spring 2010. Thanks for posting.
