Ingredients
3.5 oz sliced pepperoni
1 lb hot Italian sausage
6 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 cups milk
½ pound sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 ½ pounds potatoes, frozen shredded
Method
Cook the sausage (without the casings) in a pan. Remove as much grease as you can and set aside.
While the oven is preheating to 375, melt the butter in a pan. Add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Whisk in the flour and salt and cook for 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens slightly.
Reduce heat to low, and stir in cheese until melted.
Put your shredded potatoes in a baking dish and pour the cheesy liquid over the top. Add the cooked sausage and stir it all together.
Bake, covered for 35 minutes. Uncover, top with pepperoni, and bake 25 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender and pepperoni is crisp.
