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 a 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.
