I found this casserole to be a bit dry. I think it would have been better with a sauce.

This dish was easy to make and absolutely delicious. I used a pre-made French toast mix to save time, and it still turned out great. The caramelized bananas added a touch of sweetness that balanced out the savory sausage.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The casserole was moist and flavorful, and the bananas were perfectly caramelized. My only complaint is that it didn't make enough! I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time.
