Potato and Chorizo Casserole image

I love the smoky flavor chorizo gives this dish, but I've also made it with Italian sausage and substituted an Italian blend cheese for the Mexican cheese. Or you can use cream of mushroom soup and fresh mushrooms for a vegetarian option. -Ana Beteta, Aberdeen, Maryland
