Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 1-1.5 quart baking dish. A 9-inch square would probably be good too.
- Brown sausage and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain sausage well. Set aside in a large bowl. Add the shredded potatoes to this bowl as well.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium. Whisk in the flour until you have a smooth paste. Cook until this bubbles and cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually add the milk and chicken stock, whisking constantly so no lumps form. Cook until sauce begins to thicken and starts to bubble around the edge of the pan.
- Add the Velveeta and reduce heat to low. Stir constantly until the Velveeta is melted.
- Pour the sauce over the sausage/potato combination in the bowl—the amount of sauce you use it up to you. I used it all because I wanted it creamy. The consistency will be the same cooked as before, so let your eye—and your taste—be your guide. Mix well and turn into prepared pan.
- Sprinkle top with Panko crumbs if using.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-60 minutes.
- Recipe may be doubled to serve 4.
NOTES
- Substitute 1 cup shredded cheddar for the Velveeta.
- Add salt/pepper AFTER the cheese has melted in the sauce. Velveeta and ANY cheese can be salty so add last.
