How to Make Au Gratin Sausage Skillet

  1. Cook 1 lb sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until lightly golden brown. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 2 lbs small red potatoes (quartered) and the contents of one 1-ounce package of au gratin sauce mix to the skillet.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup water.
  4. Cover the skillet and cook for 18 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Add 1 cup chopped vegetables (such as broccoli florets, peas, or carrots).
  6. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded light cheddar cheese over the mixture.
  8. Remove from heat and cover the skillet. Let it stand for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
