Ingredients Needed:

• 1 pound Jimmy Dean uncooked ground sausage
• 1 shallot, diced
• 1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
• 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 3 Tbsp butter
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheddar blend
• 1/2 cup french fried onions

How To Make Winter Casserole Recipe?

1. Cook the Potatoes: Add the peeled and cubed potatoes to a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil for about 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the water and set the potatoes aside.
2. Cook the Sausage: While the potatoes are boiling, heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and break it up as it cooks. Add the diced shallot and cook until the sausage is fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
3. Prepare the Sauce: Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer on low for 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
4. Mash the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a mixing bowl. Mash until smooth, then stir in the butter until it melts. Add the salt, pepper, milk, and shredded cheese, mixing until well combined.
5. Assemble the Casserole: Spoon the mashed potatoes over the sausage mixture in the skillet, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the French-fried onions over the top.
6. Broil the Casserole: Place the skillet under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the onions turn golden and crispy.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Once broiled to your liking, remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy your winter casserole!

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Sausage: Choose fresh sausage for the best flavor. Pre-cooked sausage won’t have the same rich taste in the casserole.
• Mash Potatoes Well: Make sure to mash the potatoes until they’re smooth and creamy, so they spread easily over the sausage mixture.
• Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sausage mixture before adding the mashed potatoes, and adjust salt and pepper if needed for a balanced flavor.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Make sure the sausage and tomato mixture is evenly spread in the pan for the best cooking result and flavor absorption.
• Watch the Broiling Time: Keep an eye on the casserole while broiling to ensure the onions get crispy but don’t burn.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover casserole cool down, then put it in an airtight container. It will stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: After cooling, wrap the casserole well in plastic wrap or foil and store it in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 1 month.
• Reheat: Heat the casserole in a skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally, adding a little milk if needed to loosen it up.
