The combination of sausages and potatoes simply seems like it was meant to be, don't you think? If you believe the same, this recipe for Cheese Potato & Smoked Sausage Casserole is ideal for you. A rich and creamy sauce is used to coat the potatoes, which are partly cooked and combined with chopped smoked and cured sausages before being baked.

– Half a pound.Of cubed Velveeta cheese.
– Half a cup.Of grated sharp cheddar cheese.

PREPARATION METHOD:
– Step 1: First, you need to sauté sausages in 2 large spoons of olive oil in a big pan over medium-low heat, rotating and stirring often, until they have browned a little on the edges.
– Step 2: And, lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Transfer the cooked potatoes and sausage to a baking dish and toss only until the ingredients are evenly spread.
– Step 3: After that, you need to increase the heat to medium and pour the butter into the pan, stirring constantly.
– Step 4: When the butter is completely melted, mix in the flour, and allow to simmer for approximately a minute, whisking continuously, to completely eliminate the flour flavor from the sauce.
– Step 5: Following that, whisk in gradually 1/4 to 1/2 cup at a time, until the half and half are equally distributed throughout the mixture. Continue to simmer until the sauce has thickened.
– Step 6: Slowly add the Velveeta and season with salt and pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce has smoothed out, stirring continuously.
– Step 7: Then, spread the cheese sauce over the potatoes and meat in an equal layer. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top in an equal layer.
– Step 8: Bake for around 45 minutes, until potatoes are fork soft and the top of the casserole is brown.
