Cheese Potato & Smoked Sausage Casserole
Ingredients:
3 cups Idaho potatoes, peeled, boiled and cut
into cubes when cool, approx. 1 lb.
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 lb. Velveeta cheese, diced
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 lb. smoked sausage
1/8 teaspoon paprika
Directions:
Cut skinless smoked sausage in half, lengthwise,
and then chop into 1/2 inch "half moon" cuts.
Cook in a frying pan for about 15 minutes,
turning frequently to SLIGHTLY brown.
Meanwhile, put cooked & diced potatoes in 2 quart
casserole. Add cooked meat and give it a gentle toss.
Mix all remaining ingredients (except for
shredded cheddar cheese & the paprika) in a
saucepan over medium heat until warm, melted and
smooth. (Use a whisk and stir constantly.).
Pour white/cheese sauce over potatoes and meat.
Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top,
and then sprinkle paprika evenly over the top.
Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 35-45 minutes
(watch, until golden brown on top).
**NOTE: You can substitute: 1/2 lb. hot dogs,
sliced into 1/2-inch slices OR 1/2 lb. ham diced
into 1/2-inch dices OR 12 oz. can of Spam diced
into 1/2-inch dices, instead of the smoked sausage.**
