What is the difference between Bratwurst and Kielbasa sausage links?

Kielbasa sausage is a smoked sausage with a distinctive garlic flavor that’s paired with other flavorings such as smoke, cloves, pimentos, and marjoram.

Can I prepare the casserole ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the casserole ahead of time in a baking dish and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake it. Simply cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to cook, remove the covering and follow the baking instructions in the recipe.

Can I freeze the Sausage and Pepper Casserole?

Yes, this casserole can be frozen for later use. After assembling the dish, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil.

What can I serve with the Sausage and Pepper Casserole?
