This is one of those dishes you take to a potluck and may get passed by a couple of times until that first brave soul "tries" it and starts raving about how good it is! It's not much to look at but, sure does pack a lot of flavor!! I entered this dish into a local newspaper holiday competition many years ago and got an honorable mention!! :)

How To Make broccoli sausage bake

Step 1

Brown sausage and cook chopped red pepper together, drain. While browning sausage and peppers, place frozen broccoli in colander to let thaw and drain.. i sometimes run a little cool water over it to speed the thaw process. Drain and coarsely chop water chestnuts.

Step 2

In large bowl.. mix sausage, peppers, broccoli, water chestnuts, bread crumbs and eggs. Turn into well oiled 8x8 baking dish. Bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes.. or until golden brown on top.
Step 3

Mix together mayo, sour cream and mustard. "Frost" the sausage-broccoli bake and place back into oven for about 10 more minutes to warm topping.
Step 4

I have used parsley flakes or dried onion rings to "dress up" the topping. But, this step is entirely optional.
Step 5

The "heat" in the sausage really spices up this dish. I personally like to use hot sausage but, mild is still pretty awesome!!
