Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Brown sausage, onions, garlic, green pepper, and mushrooms in a skillet over medium high heat for 6-8 minutes until sausage is cooked, stirring frequently. Drain and return sausage mixture to warm skillet.
- Stir 3 tablespoons flour into the sausage and vegetables and then add spaghetti sauce, mixing well. Bring to a boil stirring often. Pour into lightly greased 6x10 or 8x8 baking dish and top with shredded Italian cheese. A blend of Italian cheeses works well but use whatever you like or have on hand.
- Beat egg and stir in milk, oil, salt until well blended. Stir in the remaining flour and parmesan cheese and mix well. It should be pourable and not a dough like biscuits so adjust with a bit more flour or milk as needed. Pour over sausage/cheese in casserole covering the entire top evenly. Sprinkle a little more shredded parmesan cheese on top if desired.
- Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into squares for serving.

SPAGHETTI CRUST SAUSAGE PIZZA CASSEROLE
Pepperoni or salami works well for this also, just layer the pepperoni or salami *over* the pasta sauce instead of under it, or use ground beef in place of the sausage meat. All spice amounts can be adjusted to taste.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables in your bake to add flavor and nutrition. Some good options include broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, and spinach.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. A combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan is a classic, but you could also try Gouda, Gruyère, or feta.
- If you're using pre-cooked sausage, brown it in a skillet before adding it to the casserole. This will help to develop its flavor.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought pizza sauce. However, if you have the time, it's worth making your own. It's easy to do and tastes much better.
- Serve the pizza pasta bake with a side salad or garlic bread.
