I sort of really changed this recipe into a super heathly delish spicy dish. I used a spicy chicken brat sausage, sliced up, and sauted with onions & mushroons (yellow pepper would be great too, but my husband doesn't like them) . I also cooked 4 servings of brown rice. I put the brown rice on the bottom of 9x13, put the sausage mixture on top, then covered that with a can of rotel tomatoes. This definitely needed some sour cream to cool it off a bit!

Hubby and I loved this recipe tonight. I used 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes instead of the diced tomatoes. I also microwaved the potatoes and baked the casserole for 45 minutes. In addition, I drained a little of the water from the corn and some from the Rotel. This is a keeper!

I precooked the pork and microwaved the potatos ahead of time (as suggested by other reviewers). It still seemed to take a little while. I was also surprised the recipe didn't call for more seasoning. Iw ent ahead and seasoned the pork sausage when I was browning it - adding some garlic, salt pepper, and red chili flakes. I also used a can of diced tomatos with jalapenos and it seemed to add a little more kick. Even with all that my boyfriend complianed the potatos tasted bland. I crumbled some jalepeno flavored tortilla chips over the top for a little crunch too. I like it, but it needed some serious "tweeking."

This was great however I definitely made some changes. I used pork sausage with hatch green chiles and I did saute it first. Cooked the potatoes slightly before also just to speed up the baking. I also used a can of Rotel. tomatoes with green chiles instead of plain tomatoes. Only thing I would do different next time is use fresh tomatoes with fresh roasted green chiles (I always have some in the freezer) instead of the canned. With the green chiles in this the flavor was wonderful. Be sure to slice the onions thin so they will cook. My family loved it. Topped with a little sour cream also.

I normally read reviews before trying out a new recipes. This time I failed to do so. I decided to try this recipe out 45mins before it was time for my husband to leave for work (he works 2nd shift) and I followed it to a "t". Five minutes before it was suppose to be ready. I checked it to see if it was ready...I was shocked. It was not close to being ready. I had to rush and prepare something else for him. I have learned my lesson. Always, always read other reviews and strongly consider their advice.

I gave this 2 stars because it's edible but not something I'd want to make again and I even tried it with the spaghetti sauce and cheese like the previous reviewer said and it still didn't do anything for it.

Went with the general consensus and modified the recipe as previous reviewers suggested. I used all of my mozzarella on a separate appetizer the night before and only had monterey jack, but it was still tasty! And I used the recommendations of the spaghetti sauce, the browning the sausage and onions as well as cooking the potatoes prior to assembling the casserole. A previous reviewer made mention of the corn side dish with oregano. I love fresh oregano!!! I took that suggestion and it was a nice side dish that complemented the meal quite nicely. As an afterthought, it seemed like the newly created sauce, with the spaghetti sauce, sausage, onions and etc, really had a promising start for a good lasagna sauce! I'll have to tweak that a bit and see what I come up with. Thank you for all of the previous reviews.

My family thought this one was great. I madw some changes though, I microwaved the potatoes first, and cooked the onions and sausage before putting it all together. I put a Mexican twist on the recipe by adding salsa, green peppers and I topped it with chedder cheese and sour cream!!
