"To save time cook the sausage meat and also slice the potatoes place in water and refrigerate until ready to use, then all that is needed to do is mix the sauce up, ground beef may be replaced for the sausage meat, this is a large casserole so if you have a 13 x 9-inch lasagna pan with higher sides use it for this, the complete casserole may be assembled and refrigerated up to 1 day in advance, and to speed up the baking time par-boil the potatoes first then slice"

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, set oven rack to lowest position, then grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet cook the sausage meat with onion,garlic and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until no longer pink; drain fat and continue cooking until lightly browned (this make take about 15 or more minutes) season with more black pepper if needed and a little salt; set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl combine all sauce ingredients until well blended and smooth.

Step 4

To assemble; 1)place half the sliced potatoes into the baking dish then pour half of the sauce mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle half of the sausage meat over the top of the sauce. 2)sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage meat. 3)repeat with remaining sliced potatoes, sauce then cooked sausage meat (do not put the shredded cheese on).

Step 5

At this point you may refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.

Step 6

Place the baking dish on a large baking sheet to catch and spills (if using a regular size 13 x 9-inch pan the pan will be very full, if using a pan with higher sides you do not need to place a baking sheet underneath).

Step 7

Cover with foil and bake for 1-1/2 hours or until the sliced potatoes are just fork tender (baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the potatoes).
