Notes
- For a spicier version, use spicy sausage or add diced jalapeños.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute sausage with plant-based sausage or vegetables like bell peppers and mushrooms.
- If you prefer, skip the gravy and use extra cheese or milk for a creamier texture.
- To make ahead, assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate. Adjust cooking time if baking from the fridge.
