Print Recipe

A heartwarming Sweet Potato and Sausage Casserole that’s perfect for family gatherings and cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 pound sausage (Italian or any preferred type), crumbled
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sauté the sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crumbled sausage. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for about 6-8 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  3. Add the onions: Toss in the chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they soften and turn translucent.
  4. Introduce the garlic: Add minced garlic to the mix and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Mix in the sweet potatoes: Add diced sweet potatoes, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Pour in the chicken broth and give everything a gentle stir to combine.
  6. Simmer and soften: Cover the skillet and allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes begin to soften.
  7. Transfer to a baking dish: Pour the sausage and vegetable mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the cheese: Top the mixture generously with shredded cheese.
  9. Bake: Pop it in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Notes

This casserole can be prepared ahead of time or assembled quickly. It’s versatile; try adding nuts for crunch or a drizzle of maple syrup for sweetness.
