How To Make Smoked Sausage & Cheesy Potato Casserole

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
2. Prepare the sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, 1½ cups of shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3. Assemble: Add diced potatoes and sliced sausage to the baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the top and gently mix until evenly combined.
4. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle remaining ½ cup cheese on top, and bake uncovered for another 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
5. Cool and serve: Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley, if desired.
