I made this last night and it was easy and delicious! I used Morningstar breakfast sausage, a combination of pepper jack and reduced fat cheddar cheeses and 0% fat cottage cheese. It was a little runny even after additional baking time but it was great. My one year old LOVED it. My three year old liked it but didn't want to admit it. We will be finishing it up tonight and I will definitely make this again.

I made this last night for dinner. I used quorn mince and browned it with a stock cube instead of the sausage. It was super easy to make and so good to eat! 3 of us loved it though my sometimes fussy son thought it was a little 'wet'! Def a hit in our house and will make it many more times. I might bake it a little longer next time, for his majesty, but the rest of us liked the moistness.<br/>Thank you so much for this recipe!!!!!

this was so good. my wife was a bit nervous, but ate two servings of it. like others i used the morning star farms breakfast sausage patties -- we used cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella. didnt have any frozen spinach, so i used 10 ounces of fresh spinach and cooked it down a bit before adding it to the mix.

This is so delicious! The 2nd time I made this I used ricotta in place of the cottage cheese and a smoked gouda in place of the mozzarella cheese - wowzers! That just took it over the top. I think next time I might experiment with adding in a few roasted red peppers, for extra colour and flavour. It's yummy either way though. As written or with a few minor tweaks, this recipe is fantastic. :)
