Oh yes! Cheesy Potato Sausage Casserole is basically ultimate comfort food—hearty, cheesy, and loaded with sausage and potatoes. It’s perfect for a family dinner or brunch. Here’s a classic version:
Cheesy Potato Sausage Casserole
Servings: 6–8
Prep: 10–15 min | Bake: 45–50 min
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage or Italian sausage, crumbled
- 4 cups diced potatoes (fresh or frozen)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella (optional for extra gooeyness)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup milk
- ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika or smoked paprika (optional)
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook sausage: In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Mix casserole ingredients: In a large bowl, combine cooked sausage mixture, diced potatoes, cheeses, soup, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Pour into baking dish: Spread mixture evenly. Top with extra cheese if desired.
- Bake: 40–50 minutes, until potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly and golden on top.
- Serve hot: Optionally garnish with chopped green onions or parsley.
Tips / Variations:
- Use leftover roasted potatoes for faster prep.
- Swap in spicy sausage for extra flavor.
- Add bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra veggies.
If you want, I can also give a “one-pan skillet version” where everything cooks on the stovetop without the oven—super fast and still cheesy and hearty.
Do you want me to show that skillet version?
