This meal is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It requires limited prep time and few ingredients but is full of flavor. It could also make a nice side dish if one is looking to kick things up a notch at the Thanksgiving table.
1 Bag of Shredded Potatoes
12 oz. Sweet Italian Ground Sausage
12 oz. Hot Sweet Italian Ground Sausage
1 can of diced tomatoes and chiles
1 jar of Queso Blanco Cheese
1 16 oz bag of Italian Shredded Cheese
2 tbsp Peanut Oil
1 tsp Garlic and Herb Seasoning
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Salt and Pepper
1 tbsp of sour cream
Get started by browning the shredded potatoes in a frying pan with 1 tbsp of oil. Add in the seasonings. Once cooked to a golden brown, remove the potatoes to a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spread out the potatoes to cover the entire bottom of the pan.
Add the remaining oil to the frying pan and both packages of sausage. Cook over medium high heat until the sausage is browned. Drain the can of tomatoes and add to the sausage. Cook for another 5 minutes and then drain off the liquid from the pan.
Spread half the jar of Queso Blanco over the shredded potatoes, then add half the sausage mix and spread it across the queso. Repeat the process again with the queso and sausage mix. Top with a bag of shredded cheese, making sure as much of the mix is covered as possible. Top with a little more garlic and herb seasoning and place in a preheated oven at 375 degrees. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted to your preference. Top with a dab of sour cream.
