Smoked Sausage Casserole

An easy dish that can be made simpler by forgoing the cooking of the hash browns. It won't be as flavorful though!

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 3  tablespoons  oil (I actually use bacon fat)
• 32  ounces southern style hash browns, thawed
• 14  ounces smoked sausage, diced
• 3  tablespoons  minced onions or 1⁄2  diced onion
• 1 -2  teaspoon  cajun seasoning
• 3  ounces  cooked bacon bits
•  1 . 5 c. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1  family sized can  cream of chicken soup

Directions

1. Heat 12" skillet to medium high, then add oil.
2. Add potatoes, smoked sausage, onion and cajun seasoning. Cook until browned, about 10-12 minutes.
3. Stir in cheese, allow to at least melt partially.
4. Add soup, folding in to combine fully.
5. Pour into slightly greased 9 X 13 pan. Put into preheated 350 degree oven; cook for 30 - 35 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Remove and let stand 5 - 10 minutes.
