Cooked this last nite as planned, thanks to Denise! And it was very yummy indeed. Of course, I made a small substitution, I replaced the carrots and celery with frenched green beans. Those chicken sausage with apple were wonderful, will buy those again. In fact we'll definitly make this casserole again. 8YUMs for flavor and ease of prep.

"4 oz. chicken-apple sausage or kielbasa"
I've been trying to perfect a lamb/curry/apple sausage without success. Maybe I'll try making chicken/apple instead. Thx for the recipe!
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.
