Very tasty meal. I cut the crust off 12 slices of bread, buttered one side, put buttered side down in muffin cups. I cubed the potatoes, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. They literally walked off the serving platter. I will definitely make this again. Super comfort food. The great part about this recipe is it can be frozen, without the bread, great for a brunch. A very versatile recipe!

This is incredible. I did take the suggestion and browned the pork and the onion prior to adding it to the casserole. I also added a chopped apple for a bit of tang.

Used most of this recipe as a base--sub'd low-fat cream of celery for the white sauce, added garlic and a splash of milk. Also sub'd venison sausage, as that is what I had on hand. Eliminated salt as there was probably already sodium in the soup. Precooked squash, potatoes, and sausage with good results. Came out very yummy, would make again.

This is a keeper. The whole family loved it. I rated 4 stars because I made a couple of changes. I made a white sauce instead of using the milk & flour - I just have never had luck with au gratins made that way. I also used veggie sausage crumbles (Morningstar Farms brand) instead of the real thing.

I really liked this recipes for a base, but I had to use what I had on hand. I cubed my potatoes and squash, made the beginning of a white sauce (4 tbs butter and 4 tbs flour and 2 cups of milk) and poured it over the vegetables and browned sausage. I let it bake for an hour or so and added mozzarella cheese when I took it out. Delicious!

Instead of sausage, I used the leftover duck for a meal I had made the night before. I also threw in 4 slices of cooked, chopped bacon, as well. I have an aversion to the microwave, so I cooked it covered for 1.5 hours and then uncovered for about 10 minutes. Was absolutely delicious!

Good flavor and thought I followed the recipe, but the potatoes and squash were not cooked through when I took them out of the oven. I did also cook the sausage first. Kept it in the over for another hour or so and then it was good.

This is a very good recipe. The only thing I would do is cook the sausage before layering it over the potatoes and squash. When I cooked the dish according to the directions, the sausage was not done.

This dish had more flavor (the good kind) than I expected from the simple ingredients. I confess to adding a sweet potato (needed to use it) and cubing the ingredients instead of slicing (toddler friendly). I had physical problems crumbling uncooked sausage (the only kind I could get was a roll so it wasn't crumbly) so it was big globs and I had mental problems using uncooked sausage. It was thoroughly cooked, but I kept imagining all the grease that usually gets drained off. I'll brown and drain it first if I use this recipe again.
