Scalloped Potatoes with Sausage

Adapted from a recipe in the Casserole Cook Book, page 42.

This recipe is from a cookbook titled Casserole Cook Book by Better Homes & Gardens, printed in 1961. This is an easy dish to prepare and can be tailored in many ways to suit your taste. Recipe doubles well, which is how I prepared this and the photos reflect that and that I used some Variants as well. Link to the Shortcut is listed in the Notes section.

Equipment

Oven
Casserole (1½ quart)

Ingredients

3 cups cooked potatoes, cubed
½ cup onion, diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 can condensed cream of celery soup, (10½ oz / 298 g), Shortcut
⅓ cup milk
¼ cup green bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons pimento, diced
500 grams smoked sausage links, such as Little Smokies, (1 lb)
¾ cup Cheddar cheese, shredded, or American

Instructions

Peel and cube the potatoes, boil until tender, about 10 minutes, drain.
While the potatoes are cooking, prep the sausage links by slicing half the sausage, bell pepper, pimento, and onion. (I used chicken cocktail sausages, yellow bell pepper, and omitted the pimento.)
Cook onion in the melted butter until soft but not browned.
Stir in the soup and milk, heat through. (I used condensed chicken mushroom soup as variant.)
Preheat you oven to 180° C (350° F), get out a 1½ quart casserole. (I did double the recipe so I used a 3 quart casserole for this.)
To the casserole, add the drained potatoes, bell pepper, pimento, and the sliced sausage, toss together.
Pour soup mixture over the top of the potatoes.
Top with the shredded cheese.
Arrange remaining sausage links on top.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Fair cost per serving based on the smoked sausages, which I have seen at Macro and I need to price them again.

Shortcut: Condensed Cream of Celery Soup.

Variants: 1. Use Condensed Cream of Chicken Mushroom Soup in place of celery soup. 2. Use any bell pepper color you like. 3. In the US, the Little Smokies would be perfect in this, in Thailand, the chicken cocktail sausages work very well. 4. Use Japanese Arabiki sausage (cooked) in place of cocktail sausage.
