Easy Sausage & Potato Casserole

Sausage & Potato Casserole

Made this for dinner last night for a quick, simple meal of meat and potatoes!  Everyone loved it, even my picky child! The adults enjoyed a nice, light glass of the 2013 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau that paired really well!

Ingredients

1 pound bulk pork sausage

1/2 cup green pepper, finely chopped

1 jalapeno chopped

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

1 1/2 cups diced potatoes (you can use fresh or frozen or even hashbrowns)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup flour

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp salt

1/2 Tbsp butter or margarine

(The 4 ingredients in purple can be substituted with 1/2 cup Bisquick instead)

1 cup milk

1/8 tsp pepper

2 eggs

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease 8x8x2-inch casserole dish.
2. Brown sausage, peppers, and onion in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Mix sausage mixture, potatoes, and 1/2 cup of cheese then spread into greased casserole dish.  Save 1/2 cheese for topping at end.
4. Whisk remaining ingredients until blended and pour over sausage potato mixture in casserole dish.
5. Bake about 35 minutes until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
6. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and bake 1-2 more minutes until melted.
7. Let stand 5 minutes prior to serving.  Top with hot sauce, salsa, and or sour cream if you like.

Bon Appétit!
