Sausage - Noodle Casserole

Submitted by Pierre Dance

"This is great to make the night before without the corn chips, cover with plastic wrap, stow in the fridge. The next night top with the chips and bake. I've made it with an incredible varity of ingredients. You can't make many mistakes, it comes out good in almost any circumstances. When I first got the recipe it called for breakfast sausage hence the name."

Nice comfort food. I chose mild Italian sausage along with red pepper as I don't care for the green. I also did not add the salt, since I felt the sausage combined with the corn chips provided enough seasoning and I was right. The corn chips are a lovely addition. :)
