Sausage Potato Casserole

Submitted by ChipotleChick

"I made this recipe up from what I had handy in my cupboard. Yummy! If you want to reduce the fat, try using my recipe for homemade chicken apple sausage instead of regular. It has half the fat of regular sausage, and adds delicious flavors to this casserole."

Very Good!! I used turkey sausage and veggie "sausage" in place of bulk sausage. I also used a mixture of tofu shredded cheese mixed with lowfat shredded cheese. Calorie count probably isn't much better, but it helps with lowfat stats for our purposes. Thanks for the recipe!!!!

I had Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage that I had to cook but not much on hand. I had some baby red potatoes but no shredded cheese. I sliced & boiled the potatoes like the recipe. Sprayed the casserole dish and layered potatoes and sliced American deli cheese. Just threw on the sausage, added milk & more slices. I skipped the spices since the sausage is very flavorful. Have to say it was pretty satisfying. Not healthy but....I will make it again.

One of those "what do I have, that I don't have to go out" nights. Made almost as directed, but added Hot sauce to the meat mixture, and sliced a shallot that was sitting around. It was very tasty - using spices I would not have thought to combine. Would probably make a good base to add other favorite ingredients. Thanks CChick.

Excellent! I used frozen hash browns instead of sliced potatoes and left out the caraway since I don't care for the flavor. Otherwise I followed the recipe as written, and it was wonderful. Baking time for me was only about 35 minutes. Great comfort food, and my two-year-old loved it, too. Thanks for sharing, ChipotleChick!
