How to Make Cheesy Sausage Skillet

  1. Brown 1 lb Italian sausage and 1/2 medium onion, chopped, in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking the sausage into crumbles, stirring occasionally. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 3 cups of thinly sliced potatoes (about 2 medium russet potatoes), the contents of one 1 ounce package of cheese sauce mix, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup milk, and 2 tablespoons of margarine or butter. Stir well to combine.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of trimmed and halved green beans. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes and green beans are tender. Stir occasionally.
  6. Serve immediately with hot rolls, honey, and applesauce.
