Sausage and Potato Casserole Recipe

October 18, 2025 by youssef

Preheat Oven & Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish (or a similar size casserole dish) with butter.
Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat and set aside.
Prepare the Potatoes: If you are using fresh potatoes, place the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes, just until slightly tender. Drain well. If you are using frozen hash browns, you can use them directly without precooking.
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, prepared potatoes, chopped onion, shredded cheese, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk. Mix thoroughly until everything is well-coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Make it Spicy: Use a hot or spicy ground sausage to add a kick.
Add Veggies: Feel free to stir in other vegetables like diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach when combining the ingredients.
Crispy Topping: For a crispy top, sprinkle an extra 1/2 cup of cheese over the casserole for the last 10 minutes of baking.
Make Ahead: You can assemble the casserole the night before, cover it, and refrigerate. When ready to bake, you may need to add 5-10 minutes to the baking time since it will be going into the oven cold.
