Notes

Recipe tips.

We will either use precooked sausage from the refrigerator section or cook up raw sausage and drain the grease before adding it to the recipe.
This recipe is easy to add jalapenos, spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, red bell pepper, or broccoli florets. Sauté veggies in a large skillet before adding.
To use fresh potatoes, peel, dice, and boil for about 8 minutes. Drain well and mix into the recipe.

Make ahead of time. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours, or wrap again with foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freezer for 1-2 months.
