This recipe is a great way to use up leftover smoked sausage. I also added some chopped onion and celery to the filling.

I'm not a fan of smoked sausage, so I used Italian sausage instead. The dish was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with smoked sausage.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more cheese to the filling.
