Here’s an easy side that works well in single serving ramekins or a smaller deep dish baking dish. Baking this made a mess of my baking dish, so sorry the pics aren't Iron Chef pretty! :wink:

Cheesy Sausage and Potatoes

Ingredients

4 medium sized potatoes, peeled, cut into 1” cubes
1/2 lb Breakfast sausage (such as Jimmy Deans)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced onions (optional)
2 tbsp Sour Cream

Procedure

Place the potatoes in a suitable baking dish (one that is small and deep is best here). Season the potatoes with cracked black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Toss well to distribute seasonings. Cover dish with foil (or dish top) and bake in a 400 (F) degree oven until potatoes are tender – about 30 minutes.

As the potatoes are cooking, crumble and brown the sausage. Once done, remove to a paper lined plate to drain.

When potatoes are tender, stir in the sausage and onions (if using onions), the Sour Cream, and 1/4 of the cheese. Top with the remaining cheese and bake an additional 5 – 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

I actually ran a little low on cheese tonight, so I didn’t have a full cup, but you get the idea. Still good!

Bake potatoes first till tender.

Couldn't stand it, there was time, so I had to go back and add a "pretty" plate pic.

Uh-oh.......I think I just developed an identity crisis!!!! :yum:

Oh, and I did these pics when I just got my new camera. I've since learned to turn the flash off which makes for a less harsh and more appealing pic. The plated pic was no flash, and it looks better as it's softer.

No problem! I actually thought you meant to post in one of Bams sausage threads. Will that venison sausage you have crumble? Does it have a bit of fat added to it (most do)? If so, I think it should work.

yep, fat added and yep I'll have to crumble it up. It's a ground sausage.

Might give this a try this week. Thank you and again, I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!! I should be "BAMMED" over the head!
