Last Week's Fancy Pants Meal: Tim Walz' New Ulm Hotdish
Completely spaced out on posting this, but I decided to finally try one of what is apparently three Tim Walz's hotdish dishes out there. I chose this one cause I'm a sucker for sausage. Please do not take that out of context.
This was a good meal. Nothing hugely special - it's hot dish, it's hot, it's filling, with mild flavors. A good weekday dinner the family will like. Could use some salt and pepper. Maybe some ketchup? :D
I think changing up the sausage would really brighten this up. Instead of using bratwurst, try some hot Italian sausage?
Like most homemade recipes I've come across, the instructions were fairly vague, expecting you to just know how to prepare and cook them. I've updated the recipe to be a little more specific.
