Provided by á-47

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 pound of kielbasa cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 bag (20 ounces) refrigerated shredded hash brown potatoes
(I used Simply Potatoes, they are in the refrigerated section, if you are using frozen hashbrowns, make sure to thaw them first)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (8 ounces)plus extra for the top
1 cup sour cream
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced thin (you can substitute 1 medium onion, chopped if you don't like leeks)
1 package baby bella mushrooms, roughly chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Oven to 350. Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a skillet cook the leeks in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add in the mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are tender. Transfer to a large bowl. Cut the sausage into ½ inch cubes and add to the bowl. Add in the remaining ingredients and stir gently to combine. Spread into pan. Sprinkle with a little more shredded cheddar. Bake 40 - 45 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-cooked kielbasa or sausage.
If you don't have a casserole dish, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven.
To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and bake it for about 30 minutes. Then, let it cool completely and refrigerate it overnight. When you're ready to serve, reheat it in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until it's warmed through.
For a crispier topping, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top of the casserole before baking.
Serve the casserole with a side of sour cream, salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce.
