Assemble the ingredients the night before, and bake this casserole in the morning. Stand back and wait for the compliments. I've made it with fat free cottage cheese, egg substitute, and reduced fat sausage; the taste is still wonderful!

  • ¾ pound ground pork sausage

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 4 green onions, chopped

  • ½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt
