Hello, does this use pre-cooked lite pork sausage, or raw sausage? It seems to me that it would be awfully greasy if you use raw sausage. Perhaps you should clarify in the recipe.

Hi Rod,

The recipe doesn't call for precooked lite sausage, but you can pour off any excess liquid that accumulates in the pan (this will depend on the sausage brand used).

I used Purnell's "Old Folks" sausage, which makes a lot of juices but the potatoes soak up the juices pretty good, and the bread on the bottom kinda sops up any drippings you got left over. It was a very filling dish, very satisfying to all my boys.
