Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Polish sausage
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 large White onion
- 3 medium Carrots
- 1 large Bell pepper (any color)
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds. Chop the bell pepper and white onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Slice the Polish sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Polish sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes until fragrant, then add the carrots and bell pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or olive oil. Layer the diced potatoes in the bottom of the dish, followed by the sautéed vegetables and browned sausage slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Pour the mixture evenly over the casserole.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
After 35 minutes, remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and return to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
