Cheese, Potato and Smoked Sausage Casserole

This casserole is one that we had as I was growing up. It was always one of our favorites. The Smoked Sausage, Potatoes, and cheese all combined to make a delicious meal. Casseroles have been considered to be comfort food. The ease of making one-dish meals takes a load off the cook.

When you combine savory with smoky flavor and potatoes smothered in cheese, there is no meal better than this.

I would have to suggest that you make a double batch right away. Growing up, we all seemed to fight over the last portion. Save yourself the battle and be prepared. Besides, it is better to have too much than too little.

You can always eat it for lunch or bring some to work for break time.

It was definitely a dish that we’ll be making again soon!

• Budget Friendly
• Family Friendly
• Easy Prep

What type of potato should be used in this meal?

Again, for casseroles, you do want to have a sturdy potato. I would suggest using Russets for this meal. Also, one tip is to parboil the potatoes so that they do not take as long as they normally would to cook.

Variations:

You could use Ground Sausage, such as Italian, you can use Polish Sausage or Kielbasa, or a simple Smoked Sausage would work well in the recipe also.
