This was another one of our favorites in the 70's Very inexpensive and very easy to make. Just recently found this recipe hand-written by my Mom, and the warm feelings flood back to me, because this was a true favorite in our house. Little did I know that she was on such a tight budget, yet made things like this that we all loved!! NOTE: The meat that was used in this recipe always varied, according to whatever we had available at the time.

  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow you to cook all of the ingredients together in one pan, making the process easier and faster.
  • Cook the potatoes until tender: Make sure to cook the potatoes until they are tender before adding the other ingredients. This will help ensure that the casserole is cooked evenly throughout.
  • Don't overcook the sausage: Smoked sausage can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses to create a casserole with your favorite flavors. A blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan is a classic choice.
  • Top with crispy onions: For an extra layer of flavor and texture, top the casserole with crispy onions before baking.
