Here's what I am making tonight It's super yummy!
SAUSAGE-POTATO BAKE
Ingredients
6 mild Italian sausages, casings removed
6 medium potatoes
1 medium onion
2 cups cheddar cheese
2 cans Golden Cream of Mushroom Soup
2 tbs flour
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions
Remove casings from sausages and tear meat into small bite size pieces. Brown in frying pan.
Thinly slice the potatoes, leaving the skins on.
Chop the entire onion and shred the cheese.
In the slow cooker, layer half the potatoes followed by half the sausage and then half of the onion. Now put half of the shredded cheese on top. Add salt and pepper to taste and then sprinkle one tablespoon of flour on top. Repeat this entire process with the remaining half of the ingredients (don't forget to sprinkle the second tablespoon of flour on top) and then dump both cans of soup over the top of the entire thing. With the back of a spoon, smooth out the cream soup to cover the entire top.
Set Slow Cooker to high, takes 3 to 3.5 hours to cook. Once your potatoes are soft, it is ready.

YOU GO GIRL! I think my hubby would love it if I got in to one of these modes!
HEHE! I'm getting to this point too! I used to LOVE to cook. I still like to but...
Oh, and grocery prices (like everything else going up) make it too hard to buy all the things we need for certain awesome-looking recipes.
