Smoked Sausage Casserole Archives

This smoked sausage casserole is one of my favorite comfort dishes. It has some of my favorite things in it – smoked sausage, hash browns, and peppers. And cheese. How could it not be good? It’s not fancy. It’s not complicated. I just like it.

You can omit the jalapeno if you want. Or add more. I think this dish needs a little heat. Something to spice it up.

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.
