“My mom used to call this Potato Pizza, and it was always a treat to be served this hearty dish”, writes Kaci Koltz of Cassville, Wisconsin. “It’s still one of my favorites on a cold winter day.”

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 pound Jones No Sugar Pork Sausage Roll sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup, undiluted
1-1/4 cups whole milk
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon sugar
6 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, cook the beef, sausage, onion, pepper and salt over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the soup, milk, tomato sauce, garlic powder, oregano and sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until heated through.
Drain meat mixture; spoon half into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer half of the potatoes. Repeat layers. Top with soup mixture.
Cover and bake at 350° for 1-1/4 hours or until potatoes are tender. Uncover; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

I made this casserole tonight and it was indeed one of those casseroles that you just get up out of your chair for seconds mmm! In fact I had to stop the kids from getting thirds.I did change a few things tho. I sliced the potatoes just a little thicker and boiled for 6-8 min., drained well, and layered all ingredients like a lasagna (meat, potatoes, sauce, and cheese, repeat) yes the cheese. I went on ahead and added it. Cover for 35 min. and uncover for 15 min, perfect!!
