Here's a frugal home-cooked meal for you during these cozy times at home: Potato and Sausage Bake. It's one of our favorites---inexpensive, makes a lot, and super filling. It was the first meal our teens learned to put it together so they're usually the ones I delegate to cook each time we have it.
I love meals that are simple and filling. We usually have this with some kind of canned fruit: peaches or mandarin oranges. It's comfort food at it's most frugal. Enjoy!
5 lb. potatoes
2 TB oil
salt & pepper
beef smoked sausage (1-2 or more, depending on preference)
8 oz. cheddar cheese
Wash potatoes and cut into bite-size pieces, placing them in a large bowl. Add 2 TB oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Slice sausages once lengthwise, then slice, widthwise, into bite-size pieces. Stir into the potatoes then pour the mixture into a large greased baking pan. I use a roasting pan. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour at 350ยบ. Remove from oven and sprinkle grated cheese on top. Serve when cheese has melted.
That looks so good! And I have the ingredients, so I think I'll make it tomorrow night. You're blessed to have those teenage cooks to help you.

ReplyDeleteOH I'm glad! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThat sounds like a good money saver. Do you suppose it would work with breakfast sausage?
ReplyDeleteThanks for continuing the link up. The more normalcy we have right now the better.

Oh sure! Yes, we used to use ham in it but we no longer eat pork. Any kind of meat would do. Enjoy!
