Believe me, I’ve had my share of bland and even terrible casseroles. This Cheesy Smoked Sausage Potato Casserole is not one of them.
The smoked sausage gives a great smoky flavor to the potatoes and the creamy cheese adds texture that is just pleasing.
This is also a very economical dish. Perfect family fare without a lot of cost.
It can serve as a complete meal with just a salad and some crunchy bread and would feed at least 4 very hungry people that way.
But add a couple of sides like green beans and corn and it’ll feed at least 6 if not more.
