Description
A hearty one-pot casserole layers tender potatoes, savory non-pork sausage, and gooey cheddar cheese. Perfect for weeknights with minimal effort.
Ingredients
32 oz hash browns or fresh potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
14 oz pork-free kielbasa sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small onion, diced
14 oz cheddar cheese, 2½ cups total, ½ cup reserved for topping
10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1 tsp Creole seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Shred hash browns or cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Dice onion and sausage.
Layer hash browns, sausage, onion, and 2 cups cheese in the bottom third of a slow cooker.
Whisk soup, sour cream, Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Pour sauce over layered ingredients and gently stir to coat.
Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top. Cover and cook 6 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
Check doneness with a fork; potatoes should be tender but not mushy. Add 30 min if needed.
Notes
Pre-sauté onions and sausage 2-3 minutes for deeper flavor
Add 1/4 cup milk to the sauce for extra creaminess
Use vegan cream of mushroom soup or sour cream substitute to reduce fat
Reheats well; store leftovers in airtight containers
