How to Make Baked Penne Smoked Sausage

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut 1 pound of smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick slices and brown in a large skillet over medium heat. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  4. In a 3-quart casserole dish, combine 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup of milk.
  5. Stir in 2 cups cooked penne pasta and the browned sausage.
  6. Add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup frozen peas, and 1/2 cup French fried onions.
  7. Cover the casserole tightly with foil.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Remove foil, top with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup French fried onions.
  10. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  11. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
