Cheesy Potato Bake With Chicken Or Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Whisk first 3 ingredients in large bowl until smooth. Add potatoes and pepper and onion strips and 1/2 cup cheese. Spoon into 2-qt. casserole sprayed with cooking spray; top with sausage. Cover.
• Bake 30 min.; top with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, 20 min. or until heated through. Let stand 5 min. before serving.

Steps:

• Cover the bottom of a large casserole dish with half the meat, then half the potatoes and onions. Sprinkle with half the flour, salt and pepper, and half of the cheese.
• Repeat layers.
• Pour 1 1/2 cups of milk over, cover, and bake at 350 degrees for 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
• After half an hour stir, then check again after an hour. If the liquid is absorbed but potatoes aren't done add more milk and bake an additional half hour.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Carefully lift the skin on the chicken thighs and spread the soft cheese between the skin and flesh. Sit the chicken in a roasting tin, skin-side up, and surround with the potatoes and halved tomatoes, cut-side up.
• Scatter the tomatoes with the garlic and a light sprinkling of sugar (this helps to bring out their natural sweetness). Scatter the thyme leaves and sprigs over the tin, season and drizzle with oil. Roast for 45 mins until the chicken and potatoes are cooked through with crisp, golden skin.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Put oil in skillet and place over medium heat until hot.
• Brown sausage on both sides.
• Place sausage in between layers of paper towels to get out as much of the grease as possible.
• Spray deep baking dish with Crisco and place sausage into it.
• Brown potatoes, (but do not fry until done) in the sausage grease left in skillet.
• You may need to add a bit more oil.
• Follow the same paper towel method as you did in step #3. This time with the potatoes.
• Place potatoes on top of sausage in deep baking dish.
• Bake at 375°F until potatoes are soft (about 45 minutes). Check often, as not to burn.
• Place a layer of sliced cheese over top when potatoes are soft.
• Put back in the oven until cheese is melted (about 5 minutes).
• Serve and enjoy.

Steps:

• Cut skinless smoked sausage in half, lengthwise, and then chop into 1/2 inch "half moon" cuts. Cook in a frying pan for about 15 minutes, turning frequently to SLIGHTLY brown.
• Meanwhile, put cooked & diced potatoes in 2 quart casserole. Add cooked meat and give it a gentle toss.
• Mix all remaining ingredients (except for shredded cheddar cheese & the paprika) in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, melted and smooth. (Use a whisk and stir constantly.).
• Pour white/cheese sauce over potatoes and meat. Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top, and then sprinkle paprika evenly over the top.
• Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 35-45 minutes (watch, until golden brown on top).
• NOTE: You can substitute: 1/2 lb. hot dogs, sliced into 1/2-inch slices OR 1/2 lb. ham diced into 1/2-inch dices OR 12 oz. can of Spam diced into 1/2-inch dices, instead of the smoked sausage.
