    Ingredients You'll Need

    Labeled ingredients to make the casserole.
    • Potatoes: Helps thicken the casserole - russet potatoes are my go-to.
    • Ground Sausage: The base that provides the main flavor and texture for the casserole.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    Steps to make the casserole.
    Steps to assemble the casserole in a baking dish.

    Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 °F.

    Step 2: Peel and boil the potatoes until they are soft. Slice and place in a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

    Step 3: In a large skillet, brown the sausage with the bouillon cubes and green onions. The bouillon cubes will break apart, seasoning the sausage.

    Step 5: Pour sausage mixture over potatoes and gently mix. Top with the shredded cheese and bake for 30 minutes.

    Expert Tips

    • The sausage is the star of this dish, so make sure to use a high-quality sausage that is flavorful and not too greasy.
    • Browning the sausage before adding it to the casserole will add extra flavor and help prevent the casserole from becoming too greasy.
    • Using a good quality broth (homemade or store-bought) will add extra flavor to the casserole.

    Variations

    • You can add other vegetables to the casserole, such as broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, or carrots.
    • Try using a different type of cheese, such as white cheddar or a cheese blend.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Let the casserole cool and then cover it in foil. It will keep well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat the casserole in the oven at 350 °F, with the top covered with foil. It will take around 30 to 40 minutes to get it heated through.

    Freezing: Wrap the cooled casserole in its dish with foil wrap and then place into the freezer for 2-3 months. Alternatively, you can freeze portions in freezer safe containers. You can reheat the casserole from frozen at 350 °F for 90 minutes, or thaw in the fridge before reheating.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I make this casserole with other ground meats?

    Yes, you can easily swap the ground sausage for another meat if you prefer. Instead of the ground sausage, try ground turkey, ground pork or ground chicken.

    What can I serve with this casserole?

    I like to serve it with a side salad, however steamed broccoli, green beans, peas or corn are also great sides.

    Can I make this casserole head of time?

    This is a great make ahead dinner. You can assemble the entire casserole up to 24 hours in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

    Does this casserole make a good freezer meal?

    You can freeze the casserole before baking. Wrapped tightly, the assembled casserole will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
