I used this recipe as a guide. Started with 1/2 lb. mild Italian sausage. To that I added 1/4 each of a yellow and red onion and 5 large white mushrooms sliced. Sauteed all until onions were translucent. When completed cooking, I added about 1 tbsp chili powder and 1/2 tsp Chipotle powder and tossed. I spread the mixture in the bottom of an 8"x8"x2" and covered with about 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese because I had some I needed to use up. I followed the rest of the recipe per instructions except I used 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup water. This came out great and I will make again. One idea that comes to mind is using smoked cheddar. Can't wait to try it! Thanks!

My family did very much enjoy the recipe. I did however make some changes. I micro-waved 4 small potatoes cut them into small pieces and added them to the sausage. I cooked the casserole for about 20 minutes then topped with biscuits. My grandchildren are my toughest critics and they loved it. We also split the biscuit after it was done and added butter and honey. mmmmmmm

Loved it! I took the advice of others, and topped the casserole with shredded hashbrowns. I did cook the potatoes before adding to the casserole. I didn't have enough sausage, so I added some bacon. I also added 3 hatch green chiles...thanks to my aunt in New Mexico! (Love those things, once you've had 'em, you'll never want canned green chiles again!)I added garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, pepper and sweet basil. And I omitted the butter. Also, the package of gravy mix I had was 4.5 oz, so I added a bit more milk. I'll definitely be making this again! Thanks for sharing.

I read the comment below and followed the double recipe for making the dish in the crock pot overnight. I cooked hashbrowns first in a skillet, then put them on top of the rest of the ingrediants before putting the crock pot lid on for the night. I made it for my office and they loved it! Certainly not a low-cal healthy recipe, but savory with a kick! I'll make this again, no doubt.

We've made this for Christmas morning two years now -- put it together the night before, and pop in the oven at 3 a.m. or whenever it is that the kids come shrieking downstairs...

This is a great, quick recipe to make especially at the last minuete. I try to keep pre-cooked sausage on hand, double the bread or use cubed buns and extra butter on the top. I've found that it takes longer to bake than the directions state but all in all this is a great recipe.

Ugh, this was WAY to greasy for all four of us, with the fried hash browns atop. The toast would probably be the better way to go, to keep the grease down and not ruin the wonderful egg part of it. (Although, the country gravy mix didn't really give any additional flavor. You could save yourself the $1.50 and just add a bit of flour to thicken / fluff up those eggs) Had links, instead of bulk sausage - so just chopped them up. 3 Green onions, Red and Green pepper, and white onions. 7 Eggs (made in a 9X13). 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup milk. A bit more SHARP cheddar. And, cayenne instead of paprika.

This recipe is awesome!! The first time I tried it I tried it exactly as written. It was excellent and there were no left overs. The second time I tried it I didn't have enough bread so I used hash browns and was out of sausage so used bacon.It was again excellent. I love this recipe because it can be used with anything on hand and tastes good. Thank you for sharing!

I loved this recipe. I made it today for our treats club at work. I took some suggestions from the reviews and used the shredded potatoes for the top and used a combo of spicy and mild Italian sausages. I also created a vegetarian one using the cubed potatoes and some additional salt and pepper to add some flavor. I had to cook this for probably about 40 minutes longer than the recipe said, but the result was worth it! The treats were gone faster than I had ever seen! I cooked the sausage the night before and mixing everything together in the morning went super fast. Love this recipe, I'll make it again and again.

My kids are my best critics, even my 10 year old who doesn't like eggs. Her plate was empty,(I did use eggbeaters). Made this one for overnight guests and had limited time in the morning so I was a little leary of make it the morning of. I cooked the sausage the night before and had everything else ready. Cooked in a 9x13 so it would cook in time. It was a hit and the kids all said it deserves 5 stars.

I have made this several times and it is a KEEPER!!!! My husband isn't a big sausage fan, so I added crumbled bacon to the sausage mixture and he loved it. It is the best breakfast casserole we have ever had. Thanks

I served this on Christmas morning, and we all enjoyed it. I honestly couldn't taste the gravy mix at all. I did offer hot sauce and diced green chili on the side for those who wanted added flavor. This is not my favorite breakfast casserole, but it was a nice one that I will serve again.

Verry Yummy!! Instead of the bread slices I used almost a whole bag of homestyle potatoes sprinkled with seasoned salt & onion powder(small cubes - that I already cooked). I also used 2 pkgs of gravy mix and adjusted the water accordingly. My husband said this was the BEST b'fast casserole I have ever made! Thanks so much for this awesome casserole. I will be making this again soon...

My husband and son really liked this casserole. I liked it but thought I have had better breakfast casseroles. I made a couple of changes based on others' suggestions. I added about 1/4 c finely chopped onion and 1 T fresh minced garlic. I also increased the green onions to 3. I use 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup milk and hashbrowns on the top rather than bread. I baked it as the recipe stated BUT it took nearly twice as long to bake. I think it might have cooked faster if I used a bigger pan making the casserole not as thick. I browned the top under the broiler before serving which added a little crunch to it. I think next time I would cook the potatoes in a fry pan first as someone suggested and then add them to the top about 1/2 way through the cooking.

I actually woke up at 5 in the morning to cook something for my husband. I prepared everything from the night before so it was way easier. I loved this recipe it was so good !!! And my husband loved it ! There was however way too much butter in the pan and it was really greasy. Using less melted butter will really make this the best !!!
