POTATO CASSEROLE WITH CHEESE & SMOKED SAUSAGE 😋
*INGREDIENTS:
°3 cups Idaho potatoes, peeled, boiled and cubed when cool, approx. 1 pound
°4 tablespoons of butter
°4 tablespoons of flour
°2 cups of milk
°½ teaspoon of salt
°¼ teaspoon pepper
°½ lb Velveeta cheese, diced
°½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
°1 lb skinless smoked sausage (Eckrich is my favorite brand)
°⅛ tsp paprika
*DIRECTIONS:
-Cut sausages in half, lengthwise, then cut into ½ inch half moons.
- Cook in a sauté pan for about 15 minutes, turning them frequently, until they are lightly golden. Meanwhile, place the cooked and diced potatoes in a 2-quart saucepan.
-Add the cooked meat and stir gently. Combine all remaining ingredients (except grated cheese and paprika) in a saucepan over medium heat until hot, melted and smooth.
-Use a whisk and stir constantly. Pour the fromage blanc sauce over the potatoes and the meat.
-Sprinkle grated sharp cheddar cheese on top, then sprinkle paprika evenly on top.
- Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 35-45 minutes, until golden on top. Note: you can replace the sausage with ham.
Enjoy !
