Kielbasa Sausage Cheesy Potato Casserole
Smoked kielbasa and diced potatoes baked under a cheddar topping with paprika-seasoned juices.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound fully cooked smoked kielbasa sliced
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 2 cups cheddar shredded
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
As Needed
- cooking oil as needed to grease the dish
Instructions
Prepare the Filling
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the fully cooked kielbasa and onion for 6–8 minutes until the onion softens and sausage edges brown.
- Combine the 1/2-inch diced potatoes, sausage, onion, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread in a lightly greased baking dish in a shallow layer and top with all the shredded cheese.
Bake
- Cover tightly with foil and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake about 15 minutes more until the center potatoes are fork-tender and the casserole reaches 165°F, covering again if more cooking is needed.
- Let stand for 5 minutes. Divide into 6 portions with some of the pan juices.
Notes
- Refrigerate promptly in shallow covered containers at 40°F or below; use within 3 days of the oldest cooked ingredient.
- Reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F.
