Scalloped Potatoes With Smoked Sausage Recipes

SCALLOPED POTATOES, CABBAGE, AND SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a saucepan or in the microwave, melt the margarine. Add the salt, pepper, and flour. Stir until smooth, then gradually add the milk with a wire whisk. The mixture doesn't have to get thick, it does that as it cooks in the oven, you're just mixing it all together uniformly at this point.
• Add a layer of sliced potatoes to a thinly greased 13X9 pan. You can use the wrapper on the margarine or butter to lightly grease the pan if you like. It doesn't need much.
• Then add 1/2 of the cabbage as the next layer, sprinkle with 1/2 of the onions, and then add 1/2 of the smoked sausage or kielbasa.
• Then layer it all again, starting with potatoes, then cabbage, then onions, then smoked sausage, and top it all off with the remaining potatoes.
• Sprinkle the cheese on top. Stir up the sauce and pour it over the top of all uniformly.
• Cover your pan with aluminum foil tightly and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 1 hour, until potatoes are tender. Then remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes at 400 to brown the top slightly or place under the broiler until lightly browned.

SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray an 8 x 13 inch casserole with vegetable spray. (I use the butter flavored.)
• 2. Place a layer of sliced potatoes to cover the bottom of the casserole. Then dot with about 1/2 of the smoked sausage and 1/3 of the butter.* Sprinkle lightly but generously with flour, and salt and pepper. Add another layer, just like the first, and continue until potatoes and sausage are used up (ususally 2 layers). Finish up with the sprinkling of flour and salt & pepper.*
• 3. Pour evaporated milk over to cover, moistening all of the flour on top. Add enough water or additional milk to ensure all of the potatoes are damp and most of them covered (not necessarily all, but most).
• 4. *If you don't care about too much fat, you can add dots of sour cream and sprinkle with grated cheese of your choice as well. Oooo La La!
• 5. Bake uncovered for at least an hour. Top should be browned and all bubbly. Test potato to see if it is tender. If it is too hard or stiff still, bake a little longer until potato tests done. Try one especially underneath in the milk. Especially good with steamed brocolli florets. I steam them, stir in a tiny bit of butter, and lemon juice.
