For a richer flavor, use a combination of sweet and hot Italian sausage. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as carrots or mushrooms, to the casserole. To make this dish vegetarian, substitute the Italian sausage with plant-based crumbles or lentils. Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
