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! 
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.
Stir in sausage, sour cream, and some cheese (onions are optional).
Top with remaining cheese, and bake till melted and bubbly.
Finally, plated.
