Since the fall weather has arrived I’ve really been craving warm and filling meals. There’s something about comfort food that really warms your belly and soul! Don’t you agree? 
This Cheesy Potato and Sausage Bake is a favorite in my house. My husband loves it and it’s one of those meals he calls “rib stickin” meals. I think that’s man speak for filling 🙂 I love because it’s delicious and affordable. And it also can be prepared in the morning, and tossed in the oven 30 minutes before dinner. Which is perfect for that dinner time rush that we’ve got going on over here.
I headed to Vons to grab some ingredients for this week’s menu and got a smokin’ deal at Vons with their Just for U program. I was able to buy 3 Hillshire Farm products and saved $3.00. Perfect to stock up for those fall comfort meals! 
Alright, grab your Hillshire Farm sausage and potatoes and get ready for this cheesy goodness!
- 4-5 medium potatoes, peeled and boiled
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups whole milk

- ¼ teaspoon pepper

- After boiled potatoes have cooled cut into cubes and set aside.
- Cut sausage link into ½ in. slices then cut in half. Toss into skillet at medium heat and allow to cook for about 10 -15 minutes.

Whisk periodically until cheese is completed melted. Remove from heat, stir in sour cream, salt, and pepper.
