Recipe Notes
You may undertake further and added seasonings such as diced bell pepper, chopped celery leaves, minced parsley and thyme. If using sausage, undertake adding finely diced apple, and eliminate the garlic, onion powder and Worcestershire sauce. Small diced vegetables such as potato, carrots, or peas may be added if you like. Some cooks add chopped olives or chopped pickles or hard boiled eggs. You may alternate canned soup for the catsup, pouring more over the top as it bakes. The variations are endless.
