Slow Cooker Cheesy Sausage with Potato Casserole
I am pretty sure that I have shared tales of my picky crew with you. Finding something that everyone will love is just about a miracle. Casseroles are so easy to make but pretty tough to please the whole family. This casserole though… Oh my goodness! Chad and I were literally standing over the slow cooker eating it with a fork. We just couldn’t get enough and I know you are going to love it too.
We also have a delicious sausage and potatoes skillet that will please anyone!
Making Slow Cooker Cheesy Sausage and Potato Casserole:
If you do not like spicy food, you can leave out the cayenne pepper. The smoked sausage and the pepper jack cheese will just give enough heat to warm your tongue.
