Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it any time.

I’m a big fan of food items that tell you the recipe in the title. It’s a casserole with sausage and potato covered in cheese sauce. It’s so easy.
Ingredients
- A dozen or so small potatoes
- Smoked Sausage (One of those horseshoes works pretty well. I used a package of Andouille from WinCo, but it’s a little pricey.)
- 1/2 cup Cream
- 2 tbsps. butter (C’mon, use real butter.)
- 2 tbsps. flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cup medium cheddar cheese (Put as much or as little as you want. It might be interesting to try half sharp and half medium.)
How to
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. I always forget and have to wait forever for my oven to heat up. Don’t follow my lead.
- Start by cutting the potatoes into smallish cubes. Use a nice big pot, cover them in water and let them sit for 20 minutes or so. Make sure they don’t get too mushy —we aren’t making mashed potatoes here.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and whisk the flour in.
- Add the milk and cream. Whisk everything together. Make sure the flour and butter get absorbed.
- Add the cheese and let it sit on low heat for a few minutes.
- Next, cut the sausage into little bits. Put these in a frying pan and heat them through.
- When everything is ready, mix the potatoes and sausage together and pour them into a casserole dish.
- Pour the cheese sauce on top.
- Finally, cover the top with more grated cheese and put it in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly brown and delicious.
