"Beer, brown mustard, and caraway seed blend with apples and sausage for a hearty entree. This dish can be easy peasy as it is easily made ahead (sits on counter for 30 minutes and can be assembled and kept in the refrigerator overnight before baking). It is excellent served at a potluck, a Christmas Eve entree, or to be served during a weekend or prepared ahead for a weeknight meal."

The hubby really enjoyed this...but he did say it lacked salt...and I had to agree...I cut the recipe in half and we have lots of leftovers...I used white wine for the flat beer...cuz I didn't have any flat beer...made for Bill Board tag game...

This is a great casserole (and one which we almost always have all the ingredients on hand) which is very filling and good. I did use apple cider instead of the beer but otherwise made as directed. Thanks for sharing!

What a nice change of pace for us. We really enjoyed this German-style casserole. I found some German mustard and used it in the recipe. The only change I made was to reduce the amount of caraway seeds and I didn't have beer so I increased the amount of chicken broth. Made my own fresh breadcrumbs. Very nice meal.
