Polish Sausage casserole

I was down to the bare staples in my pantry and fridge. I had cheddar cheese, polish sausage and potatoes. Three main ingredients.

Sausage Casserole
1 kielbasa sausage
3 lbs of potatoes. (boiled, peeled and mashed)
1/2 onion chopped fine
2 cups of shredded cheese

Make potatoes as you would for mashed potatoes. Boil the water, peel the potatoes, bring to a bowl until tender, drain and then add 1 stick butter and 1/2 cup milk or chicken broth. Flavor with salt and pepper.

In a skillet brown kielbasa sausage and finely cut onion. Drain excess fat and set sausage and onion on paper towel lined plate.
If I had a blend of frozen vegetables, I would have blanched them in boiling water and then set those aside also.

Get a 9x13 baking dish and layer mashed potatoes, then sausage and onion mixture, then cheese, keep alternating layers until you have last layer of potatoes and then sprinkle with cheese.

Our family likes heat so I sprinkled red pepper flakes on the top just before serving.
