I’m a big fan of food items that tell you the recipe in the title. It’s a casserole with sausage and potato covered in cheese sauce. It’s so easy.

Ingredients

  • A dozen or so small potatoes
  • Smoked Sausage (One of those horseshoes works pretty well. I used a package of Andouille from WinCo, but it’s a little pricey.)
  • 1/2 cup Cream
  • 2 tbsps. butter (C’mon, use real butter.)
  • 2 tbsps. flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cup medium cheddar cheese (Put as much or as little as you want. It might be interesting to try half sharp and half medium.)

How to

  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. I always forget and have to wait forever for my oven to heat up. Don’t follow my lead.
  2. Start by cutting the potatoes into smallish cubes. Use a nice big pot, cover them in water and let them sit for 20 minutes or so. Make sure they don’t get too mushy —we aren’t making mashed potatoes here.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter and whisk the flour in.
  4. Add the milk and cream. Whisk everything together. Make sure the flour and butter get absorbed.
  5. Add the cheese and let it sit on low heat for a few minutes.
  6. Next, cut the sausage into little bits. Put these in a frying pan and heat them through.
  7. When everything is ready, mix the potatoes and sausage together and pour them into a casserole dish.
  8. Pour the cheese sauce on top.
  9. Finally, cover the top with more grated cheese and put it in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly brown and delicious.
