Sweet Potato Sausage Casserole
8 servings
about 1 hour total (Active 25 minutes)

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 ½ lb fresh sweet potatoes (2–3)
  • 1 bunch fresh kale, finely chopped
  • 16 oz Italian chicken (or pork) sausage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 oz Deli Gruyère cheese
  • 1 ½ cups stuffing mix for turkey (or chicken)
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (or stock)
  • 1 (15-oz) jar roasted garlic Alfredo sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 9-inch square baking dish with spray. Peel sweet potatoes; cut into ½-inch cubes (4 cups). Chop kale (3 cups). Remove sausage casing: cut almost in half lengthwise (butterfly); turn sausage over and peel casing away (wash hands).
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan, then add sweet potatoes; cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until light brown. Transfer sweet potatoes to large bowl.
    3. Add sausage to same pan; brown 4–5 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, or until no pink remains. Meanwhile, shred cheese (1 ½ cups). Stir sausage, stuffing mix, kale, and 1 cup broth into potatoes; transfer to baking dish.
    4. Combine Alfredo sauce, remaining 1 cup broth, nutmeg, and 1 cup of the cheese; pour sauce over sweet potato mixture. Top with remaining ½ cup cheese; bake 25–30 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Serve.
    NOTE: Having a large crowd? Double the recipe and bake in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Bake an extra 12–15 minutes.
