Jolean's Cheese Potato & Smoked Sausage Casserole

This was another one of our favorites in the 70's Very inexpensive and very easy to make. Just recently found this recipe hand-written by my Mom, and the warm feelings flood back to me, because this was a true favorite in our house. Little did I know that she was on such a tight budget, yet made things like this that we all loved!! NOTE: The meat that was used in this recipe always varied, according to whatever we had available at the time.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    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.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, put cooked & diced potatoes in 2 quart casserole. Add cooked meat and give it a gentle toss.
  3. 3
    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.).
  4. 4
    Pour white/cheese sauce over potatoes and meat. Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top, and then sprinkle paprika evenly over the top.
  5. 5
    Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 35-45 minutes (watch, until golden brown on top).
  6. 6
    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.

    I had a smoked sausage in the freezer and wanted to use it up and searched Zaar and thought this recipe looked good. I didn't have any taters, but did have frozen hashbrowns, so I used those. I was out of Velveeta but had cheez whiz and some shredded cheese so I made my cheese sauce with what I had on hand. I did add onion and garlic since I like those flavors. This turned out wonderfully! My whole family loved it! This one is going in the cookbook and I WILL be making this again and again!! Thanks!!

    This was awesome! It will be even better when the weather cools some. Perfect comfort food. I used smoked sausage and threw in some diced onion. Other than the onions, followed the recipe exactly. Very easy and so creamy and delishious! My husband would give this 10 stars if he could. He went on about it for hours after dinner was finished. Thanks for the keeper of a recipe!

    So good! I added a few more spuds and there was enough sauce. I also increased the grated cheese to 1 cup. Delicious.
