This is definitely a keeper. This made a 9x13 pan for me although I didn't measure everything exactly just threw stuff in. I'll double the green peppers next time and add some mushrooms. I added some ground pepper, just a personal preference.

Very satisfying and tasty. This is a great fall/winter dish.

Have made this recipe many times for family & company, it is delicious! The only change I made was to use my own homemade tomato sauce.*****

Good recipe! Our family of four liked this, and It made enough that I can freeze half the casserole for another night. I will probably try adding minced garlic clove next time.

I have made this recipe multiple times and it comes out great every time. However I use pork sausage. It's a pretty big recipe, if you use leftover just add a little pasta sauce and it's good to go.

I wasn't able to find the Italian Turkey sausages so just used sweet italian sausage. It added a bit more fat, but it was a great dish and so easy to make.
