We enjoyed this casserole very much, and in the future I plan on making again. A couple sidenotes, is we felt that there was a little too much Italian Sausage, which was the only downfall, but the other ingredients really complimented each other, the combination of the cheeses was excellent, and I cooked this for 40 minutes, which was right on the money. Thank you for this wonderful creation you came up with and much good luck in the contest..
