Servings: 9 servings
Ingredients
- 2-3 sweet potatoes sliced thin
- 4 apples sliced thick
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 1 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉ and grease a 9x13 baking pan.
- Brown sausage in a large pan over medium high heat.
- While sausage browns, slice sweet potatoes into ¼ inch rounds and apples into ½ inch slices.
- Place half of the potato slices in the bottom of the baking pan in an even layer.
- After sausage is browned and cooked through, sprinkle half of the sausage over potatoes to create another even layer.
- Then, layer half of the apples on top of sausage to create another even layer.
- Sprinkle apple layer evenly with half of the brown sugar, and repeat steps 4-7 with the other half of the ingredients.
- Place the casserole in the oven and cook for 45 - 50 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and the casserole is golden brown. Check every 10-15 minutes and baste with any excess liquid to retain moisture.
- Let cool, serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Cook times will vary based on the thickness of the potatoes. Use a fork to check for desired tenderness.
