Casserole
Ingredients:
3 cups Idaho potatoes, peeled, boiled and cut into cubes when cool, approx. 1
lb.
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 lb. Velveeta cheese, diced
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 lb. smoked sausage
1/8 teaspoon paprika
Directions:
Cut skinless smoked sausage in half, lengthwise, and then chop into 1/2 inch
"half moon" cuts. Cook in a frying pan for about 15 minutes, turning
frequently to SLIGHTLY brown.
Meanwhile, put cooked & diced potatoes in 2 quart casserole. Add cooked
meat and give it a gentle toss.
Mix all remaining ingredients (except for shredded cheddar cheese & the
paprika) in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, melted and smooth. (Use a
whisk and stir constantly.).
Pour white/cheese sauce over potatoes and meat. Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar
cheese on top, and then sprinkle paprika evenly over the top.
