For a richer flavor, use Italian sausage and add a splash of dry red wine to the skillet after browning the sausage. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or carrots. If you prefer a less spicy casserole, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper. For a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with plant-based sausage or 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed black beans. To make this casserole ahead of time, assemble it in the baking dish, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add an extra 15-20 minutes to the baking time.
