This dish is the perfect mixture of comfort foods. Even the kids will love this one! The Velveeta cheese makes it creamy while the potatoes and sausage deliver the salty, starchy comfort you love.
Ingredients:
3 C. russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 lb. smoked sausage, sliced
2 C. milk
½ lb. Velveeta cheese, cubed
¼ C. butter
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
⅛ tsp. paprika
½ C. shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
2. Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain them. Meanwhile, cook the sausage in a frying pan until lightly browned.
3. Add the milk, butter, salt, pepper, Velveeta, and paprika to a small sauce pan. Heat over low-medium heat until the cheese is melted and everything is well blended.
4. In a 2 qt. casserole dish, place the potatoes and sausage. Pour the cheese mixture over the top.
5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar on top and bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Spaghetti is a classic dinnertime favorite. It’s inexpensive, filling, and delicious. Try this casserole-style baked spaghetti for a one-dish wonder!

1 16oz. package spaghetti noodles
¾ lb. ground beef
1 32oz. jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce

5 Tbsp. melted butter
2 C. cottage cheese

4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, parmesan cheese, and butter together. Add the mixture to the cooked and drained spaghetti noodles and stir until the noodles are coated.
5. In a baking dish, add half of the spaghetti mixture and top that with half of the sauce, half the cottage cheese, and half the mozzarella. Repeat this again so all ingredients are in the dish.
6. Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and browned.
