This sausage and scalloped potato casserole is the kind of hearty, satisfying dinner that makes everyone at the table slow down and really enjoy the meal. Tender, thinly sliced potatoes layered with savory sausage and a creamy, cheesy sauce — it’s comforting, filling, and feels like a proper Sunday dinner even on a Wednesday. It takes a little time in the oven but is hands-off once it’s in, making it perfect for evenings when you want a big, satisfying meal without standing over the stove.
- Swap: Use turkey or chicken sausage to reduce fat while keeping the savory, seasoned flavor throughout the casserole.
- Make-ahead: Assemble fully and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking; add 15 minutes to the bake time if cold.
- Storage: Refrigerate covered for up to 4 days; reheat individual portions in the microwave with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
- Variation: Add a layer of thinly sliced onions and a sprinkle of fresh thyme between the potato layers for extra depth.
- Serving: Serve alongside a crisp green salad and crusty bread to scoop up every last bit of the creamy sauce.

Sausage & scallop potato casserole
Ingredients
- 5 medium potatoes, washed and sliced very thin
- 3 chicken sausages, cooked and sliced
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 Tbsp light margarine
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 cup 1% milk
- salt & pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 2/3 cup light grated cheese
- 3 Tbsp fat free or light cream cheese
Instructions
-
Slice your potatoes into very thin circles, you can use a slicer but I just did it the old fashioned way with a knife. Slice your cooked sausages.
-
Spray a 9×13 casserole dish, preheat oven to 350F.
-
On the stove top in a pan on med-low heat melt your margarine. Stir in flour and let cook for a minute. Then whisk in your milk, add dash of salt & pepper and your oregano. Leave on stove top till sauce thickens and becomes creamy, stirring often. This can take 10 minutes to thicken..
-
Once sauce is thick add your grated cheese and stir well.
-
Layer half of your potato slices in the casserole dish, top with all of your sausage slices and then your onions. Add your cream cheese in small 1 tsp dollops evenly.
-
Pour just over half of your cheese sauce mix over the potatoes. Top with remaining potatoes and then pour the remaining sauce.
-
Cover with foil and cook in oven for approx. 60 minutes, you can remove foil for the last 5 minutes. Makes 6 servings at 8sp or 7pp each

I want to make this, but have been looking for Chicken Sausage, where do you find them (Canada)
Hi Sandra.. Not sure where you are located in Canada, our local Fortino’s has their own chicken sausages in the meat section and also I have found some at Walmart, I think they are Schneiders .. I do also buy them when I cross the border, if you ever go the Al Fresco ones are amazing!!
