Ingredients:
- 1 lb sausage kielbasa, cut ¼” thick then cut each piece into 4

- 1 cup diced onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Slap Ya Mama® seasoning

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 10.5 oz can cheddar cheese soup (I used half a can)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup water, may need more, use ⅛ cup at a time
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 13 x 9 baking dish or a 3-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a Dutch oven or larger stock pot, add cut sausages with about ½ cup of water (might need to add more water as sausage browns. Add ⅛ of a cup at a time).
- Cook over medium heat until water is evaporated and sausage is browned a bit then add diced onions, cook for 3-4 minutes and add garlic. Cook until onions are translucent.
- After sausage has browned and onions are translucent, add diced potatoes to pot.
- Pour chicken broth, heavy cream, ½ can of cheddar cheese soup, seasoning, and pepper into the pot. Stir.
- Cook over low heat just until the mixture starts to boil. Turn off heat and add cheese to the pot.
- Mix everything together and pour into the prepared baking dish. Add additional cheddar cheese on top, if desired.
- Cover with foil and bake for 65-75 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Remove from oven and remove foil. Place back in the oven for 10 additional minutes.
