salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 pound Italian sweet sausage, casings removed
2 cups diced fresh mushrooms
1 sweet onion, diced
4 apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.

In a skillet over medium heat, break up sausage and cook until no pink remains. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of fat. Transfer sausage to a bowl. Return skillet to heat; add reserved fat, mushrooms, and onions; and cook until onions are soft.
