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

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 skinless smoked sausage (Eckrich is my favorite brand)
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Directions

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

Holy cow was this good. My DSS, 12, said it was one of the best things he has ever eaten. I dropped some small chopped brocolli in with the potatoes water for 5 mins or so at the end of cooking. I used left-over ham and subbed havarti cheese bc it was what I had. I added minced onions, like others suggested, and I also used skim milk. It was easy and real comfort food. Thank you, whever you are!

This was great! I had some smoked sausage in the fridge and couldn't find a recipe. Well I have one now and this is the only thing that I will make with it. Easy weeknight meal that is budget friendly and not time consuming. Thanks for posting this.

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!
