How To Make Sausage Potato Casserole
1. Prep work: Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Slice the potatoes into about ¼-inch rounds.
2. Cook the sausage: In a large skillet, brown the sausages on all sides. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break the sausage apart as it cooks. When it's done cooking, drain the excess grease and set it aside.
3. Make the cream sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, onion powder, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Mix until the ingreidents fully combine.
4. Assemble the casserole: Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, followed by half of the pork sausage and half of the soup mixture. Repeat the layers until you use all of the ingredients.
5. Bake and serve: Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake it for 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender. Remove the casserole dish from the oven and remove the foil. Top the casserole with shredded cheese and bake, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Finally, sever warm and enjoy!
