Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 pound of kielbasa cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 bag (20 ounces) refrigerated shredded hash brown potatoes
(I used Simply Potatoes, they are in the refrigerated section, if you are using frozen hashbrowns, make sure to thaw them first)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (8 ounces)plus extra for the top
1 cup sour cream
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced thin (you can substitute 1 medium onion, chopped if you don't like leeks)
1 package baby bella mushrooms, roughly chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Oven to 350. Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a skillet cook the leeks in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add in the mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are tender. Transfer to a large bowl. Cut the sausage into ½ inch cubes and add to the bowl. Add in the remaining ingredients and stir gently to combine. Spread into pan. Sprinkle with a little more shredded cheddar. Bake 40 - 45 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Ingredients

1 bag of ore ida steam 'n mash russet potatoes
2 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp flour
2 c milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 lb velveeta, cubed
1/2 c sharp cheddar, shredded
1 lb kielbasa or smoked sausage

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Cut kielbasa (or sausage) in half lengthwise, then chop into 1/2" half-moon cuts. Brown in a frying pan over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning frequently.
2. Microwave your bag of Steam 'N Mash for 10 minutes.
3. When the meat is browned, and the potatoes are done, combine in a 2-quart casserole dish.
4. Mix all remaining ingredients (except for shredded sharp cheddar) into a saucepan. Whisk constantly over medium heat until warm, melted, and smooth.
5. Pour cheese sauce over the meat/potato mixture.
6. Sprinkle evenly with sharp cheddar. Bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly. Enjoy!

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Opt for fresh vegetables, a flavorful kielbasa, and a creamy cheese blend to ensure the best taste.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the kielbasa and vegetables, make sure not to crowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent steaming.
Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables in this casserole. Some great options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and bell peppers.
Don't overcook the pasta: When boiling the pasta, cook it al dente according to the package instructions. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the casserole.
Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta and vegetables without being too runny. If it's too thin, add a little more flour or cornstarch.
Bake the casserole until bubbly: Bake the casserole in a preheated oven until it's bubbly and golden brown on top. This will ensure that it's cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

This cheesy kielbasa potato casserole is a hearty and flavorful dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy sauce, tender kielbasa, and crispy potatoes, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
