My family and I enjoyed this. I made it for breakfast this past weekend. Had a very hearty and robust flavor that suited our tastes. I took the leftovers to work today for my lunch. Caused quite a stir at the office. The wonderful smell attracted my co-workers attention. I let them have a sample and they were frothing at the mouth. Thank you for posting this recipe.

This is one of my go to recipes. This time I used regular sausage, canned spinach, cheese bread, and rehydrated home-dried cottage cheese instead of milk, etc. I hadn't made it for a while, and could not find it in my recipe box or in the main collection. I contacted the site for help-got nothing. I actually knew all of the main ingredients, but used winter squash as my key words instead of pumpkin. Well, pumpkin is a winter squash, for those who don't know. Other types of winter squash even processed and sold as canned pumpkin, varieties are so similar.
