Everyone's bound to want seconds of this satisfying Italian-style bake from Kelli Bucy of Red Oak, Iowa.

CREAMY MACARONI AND CHEESE SAUSAGE CASSEROLE



Creamy Macaroni and Cheese Sausage Casserole image

Really you can add in anything you want to this, but I prefer sausage meat, frozen peas are also good to add in. Make certain to put a cookie sheet under the baking dish in case of spills, the casserole dish will be very full, or you can bake it in a larger casserole dish. This is delicious even made without the sausage meat added in, but for a main meal I suggest to add in the cooked sausage. You will love this!

Time 55m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 -7 Italian sausages, casings removed
4 cups uncooked macaroni noodles
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
1/2 cup flour
2 cups milk
2 cups whipping cream
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 (600 g) package cheddar cheese, grated (use old or extra old, reserve 1 cup for the top of the casserole, I use a 600 gram package Black Dia)
1 cup Cheese Whiz, cheese spread
1 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Remove the sausage meat from the casings and brown in a skillet; set aside.
  • Cook the pasta in boiling salted water (do not cook completely, cook only until VERY firm-tender, as the pasta will cook further in the oven) drain, but DO NOT rinse.
  • Place the drained macaroni back in the pot and add in the cooked sausage meat, mix to combine with a wooden spoon; set aside while preparing the cheese sauce.
  • In a heavy bottom saucepan, melt the butter or margarine.
  • Add in flour, black pepper and garlic powder; whisk for 5 minutes or until thick.
  • Slowly add in the milk and whipping cream; whisk continuously for about 6-8 minutes until bubbly and thickened.
  • Turn off the heat and add in grated cheddar cheese, Cheese Whiz and Parmeasn cheese; stir with a wooden spoon until all the cheeses have melted and the mixture is smooth (this should take about 3 minutes).
  • Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta/sausage meat mixture; stir well with a wooden spoon.
  • At this point season with salt if desired.
  • Transfer the mixture into a buttered 13 x 9-inch baking dish or a larger casserole dish.
  • Sprinkle with 1 cup grated cheddar cheese, then sprinkle with 1 cup Parmesan cheese.
  • Set oven to 350 degree.
  • If you are baking it in a 13x9-inch baking dish it will be very full, so place the casserole onto a cookie sheet to catch any spills.
  • Bake uncovered for about 30-35 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
  • Let sit for 15 minutes or longer before serving.
  • Delicious!

Provided by Justine Pattison

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tbsp sunflower oil
16 venison sausages
2 medium onions , thinly sliced
3 celery sticks , trimmed and thinly sliced
200g chestnut mushrooms , halved (or quartered if large)
300ml red wine
1 beef stock cube
200g pack vacuum-packed cooked chestnuts
2 tbsp tomato purée
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp cornflour
small pack parsley , chopped, to serve (optional)
1 ½kg medium potatoes (ideally Maris Piper), cut into even chunks
75g butter
150ml tub double cream
2 tbsp wholegrain mustard

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the sausages in two batches over a medium heat for 15 mins, turning regularly, until nicely browned. Transfer the sausages to a large flameproof casserole dish.
  • Tip the onions and celery into the frying pan and cook over a medium-high heat for 5 mins or until beginning to soften and lightly colour, stirring regularly. Add a splash more oil if needed. Tip the vegetables into the casserole dish.
  • Put the remaining oil in the pan, cook the mushrooms over a high heat for 4-5 mins until lightly browned, then add to the casserole. Pour the wine and 300ml water into the dish and crumble the stock cube over the top. Stir in the chestnuts, tomato purée and bay leaf. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover loosely with a lid and simmer gently for 30 mins, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, make the mustard mash. Put the potatoes in a large pan of water, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 mins or until the potatoes are soft but not falling apart. Drain well in a colander, then return to the pan and mash with the butter and cream until smooth. Beat in the mustard, season to taste, and set aside.
  • Mix the cornflour with 2 tbsp cold water until smooth. Stir into the casserole and cook for 2-3 mins, stirring regularly, until the sauce has thickened. Remove the dish from the heat, season and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if using. Serve with the mustard mash.

  • If you don't have any venison sausage, you can substitute ground beef or pork sausage. However, the flavor of the casserole will be different.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Cover the casserole and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the casserole in a 350°F oven until it is heated through.
  • Serve the casserole with a side of your favorite vegetables. Roasted vegetables, green salad, or mashed potatoes are all good options.
