Sausage Potato Bake

  New cookbook, new recipes, what fun. The Taste of Home Casseroles and one dish meals has so many it is hard to chose. The first one I made was a simple, tasty, breakfast casserole though we had it for supper.

  Sausage Potato Casserole was very good. I wondered as we don’t often like casseroles with potatoes and eggs together and we were pleasantly surprised. 

  All of us decided that we would like it again. I used Farmland pork sausage roll and Yukon Gold potatoes as I had some that needed to be used. The chives came from my pot on our deck. This was a excellent supper and we will have it again. Maybe bacon or ham next time though the sausage gave it a great flavor. It cut into neat squares for serving. Looked great and would be attractive on a brunch table.
