I, too, found this to be very salty. I made it again and cut the amount of sausage and cheese in half. Still plenty of both and much less salty. I also added about 1/2 cup of seasoning mix (chopped onion, peppers, celery). Much better. I also added a can of mushrooms to the mushroom soup mixture. Ummmm....

This was much to salty (and we like salt.) I enjoyed the taste but will have to try again with low sodium everything
