Sausage and Potatoes Casserole

Two words - Comfort food.  Okay, one more word - Delicious.   All contained in one casserole dish. 


Nothing else really needs to be said about this recipe.  Well except for maybe that I even managed to sneak in a vegetable too  :-) 


Enjoy it.  My family sure does!

Sausage and Potatoes Casserole

(Serves 6 to 8)

4 cups of cubed potatoes

3 cups of diced turkey sausage, pre-cooked

1 cup of pureed or finely chopped cauliflower

1/2 cup light butter, melted

1/2 cup green onions, chopped

1/3 cup Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

Dash of Cajun seasoning

For the sauce:

2 and 1/2 cups of reduced fat or skim milk (fat-free evaporated milk is fine)

2 cups of reduced fat shredded cheese

2/3 cup of organic, unbleached flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan (or large casserole dish) with cooking spray. Peel and cut potatoes.  Boil them until just soft  but not completely done. Drain water and set aside. 


In a large pot, place the potatoes with cut up sausage, chopped (or pureed) cauliflower, butter, green onions, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and seasoning.  Create sauce by pouring in all of the milk and 1 cup of the cheese, adding the flour last to thicken.   Cook on medium heat until mixture starts to boil. 


Spoon potato casserole into baking pan.  Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top.  Bake for 30 minutes or until potatoes are slightly brown on top.  Serve hot. 

Freeze leftovers in plastic containers for up to four months.  Reheat in microwave or in the oven.
