Sausage & BRUSSELSPROUTS Casserole

4 italian sausages (I use 1 package of polish sausage)
16- 20 brussel sprouts (I use 1 bag of frozen)

2 T. vegetable oil
1/2 t. dried oregano
2 t. paprika
1 c. Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste (needs very little salt)
#1 Place butter & veg. oil in baking dish. Melt in 350 degree oven.
#2 Cut pot. into bitesize pieces. Finely chop onion.
#3 Toss pot. saus., onion, b. sprouts, garlic, oregano, paprika, and s/p in melted butter/oil. Bake covered for 15-20 minutes. Stir 2-3 times while baking. Bake uncovered additional 15-20 minutes. (Mine is never done this quick but it could be because I have a really old oven. I cook more like an hour and I turn up the heat to about 400)
