Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they become translucent. Add the sliced smoked sausage to the onions and cook until lightly browned.
3. In a separate saucepan, boil the cubed potatoes until tender but still firm, about 10-15 minutes. Drain the water and set the potatoes aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine the milk, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the mixture is smooth.
5. Add the cooked sausage, onions, and boiled potatoes to the soup mixture and gently mix until the potatoes and sausage are well-coated.
6. Pour half of the potato and sausage mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle one cup of cheddar cheese over the mixture, then add the remaining potato and sausage mixture on top.
7. Cover the top with the remaining cup of cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly over the casserole.
8. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown.
9. If desired, garnish the Cheese, Potato, and Smoked Sausage Casserole with chopped parsley or chives before serving.
This easy-to-make, robust casserole is perfect for a cool evening and is sure to be a favorite for its comforting layers of flavor and texture.
