• Top with the cooked pork sausage links.
• Cover the casserole, and bake for 30 minutes in a 350º oven.
• Top with the remaining cheese slices, and continue baking until the cheese melts. (This should only take about 1 minute to melt the cheese.).
• Yields: 4-5 servings.
• Note: You could substitute fresh cooked green beans for the frozen-cooked green beans. I cooked my fresh green beans with a 1/2 cup of water, and sprinkled them with a bit of salt & pepper, and cooked them in a 900 watt microwave oven for 13 minutes (stirring the beans half way through the cooking time). Also, when cooking the potatoes, I added a few cloves of fresh garlic to the pot of water, and when the potatoes were done cooking and drained, I added several pats of butter, a bit of half-and-half cream, plus I sprinkled the mashed taters with freshly cracked black pepper, also added some of Mrs Dash Table Blend Seasoning.
