This casserole was a disappointment. The chicken sausage was dry and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm giving this casserole 2 stars. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I think it could be improved with some additional spices.

This casserole was a total flop. The chicken sausage was rubbery and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

This casserole was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use mild chicken sausage instead.
