Ingredients:
1 pound ground sausage (or breakfast sausage)

1 can cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Butter for greasing the dish
MIX:
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking dish with butter.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Garnish and serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped g
reen onions before serving.
Enjoy!
