This is the PERFECT recipe for Sunday game day around my house. My husband and boys love this because it has sausage, cheese and potatoes. Just the mention of those ingredients are enough to get them excited. The best thing about this recipe (besides tasting great) is that I can make it up on Saturday and then pop it in the oven when I get home from church. Score!
