I've always liked making this recipe because you can prep everything ahead and put it in the fridge, then later just take 5 mins to build it and bake.

Ingredients:

-----------------

1 package of Polska Keilbasa Sausage (any flavor)

4 large baking potatoes

2 cups shredded mild cheddar

1 cup diced red onion

1 cup shredded carrots

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp each of onion powder, garlic powder

1 tsp each of pepper, paprika

1/2 tsp salt

Preparation:

---------------------

Dice keilbasa to small/medium size cubes

Peel potatoes and shred with large shredder

Add 1 tbsp of the olive oil to shredded potatoes and toss til well coated

Add shredded carrots and spices to potatoes, toss again til well blended

Cook:

------------------

In a large skillet, put 1 tbsp of the olive oil on medium heat

Add onions, cook till they start to sweat (slightly clear)

Add keilbasa, saute til they get little crispy on the edges

Drain grease off of contents

Add meat mixture to potatoe mixture, toss til well blended

Pour the whole shabang into a large baking pan

Sprinkle with the shredded cheese

Bake at 425 degrees F, for bout 20-30 minutes (until cheese looks melted and starting to crisp

Serves anywhere from 4-8 people (depending on portion size) and goes well with a nice tossed salad.
