"This dish was extremely tasty. I wanted a dish that could be made ahead of time and heated in the oven, but also remained saucy. Good company dish!"

Very good! I'm not a fan of fennel seed so I didn't use Italian Sausage-I used a beer brat and removed the casing- Just our preference. I also used chicken broth instead of water. Everyone loved...

This came out kind of dry and I could not taste the pumpkin. I'd use more pumpkin puree next time.

Used 8 oz regular mushrooms and ground venison Italian sausage instead of sweet link. Liked by all, should have made a double batch!

I made my own breakfast sausage with ground pork instead of using Italian sausage. This turned out great - I have SO MUCH frozen pumpkin purée and this is a tasty way to use it up.
