Butternut squash teams up with sliced potatoes and flavorful pork sausage in this hearty autumn casserole. The rich, creamy cheese sauce adds to the down-home taste. -Peggy Burdick, Burlington, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 4 small potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 pound uncooked bulk pork sausage
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
