Notes
For a spicier casserole, use spicy Italian sausage.
To make ahead of time, add mixture to baking dish but don't top with cheese. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Top with cheese and bake. Because the casserole will be cold from the refrigerator, add 10 minutes to the baking time.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Reheat in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, until warmed through.
