Slice 4-5 large potatoes thinly. Boil them in salted water for about 5 minutes, then drain.
Brown 1 pound of pork sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Mix 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.
Layer half the potatoes in the baking dish. Pour half the soup mixture on top. Add half the sausage.

Tips, Tricks & Storing
Want to make the best sausage potato casserole? Try these handy tips:
Slice potatoes thinly for faster cooking. A mandoline slicer works great for even cuts.
For extra flavor, add some minced garlic or herbs like rosemary or thyme to the mix.
Don’t overcook the sausage before adding it to the casserole. It will continue to cook in the oven.
To save time, use pre-cooked sausage. Just slice and add it to the dish.
Storing your casserole is easy. Let it cool completely, then cover tightly with foil or plastic wrap. It will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
To reheat, pop it in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes. You can also microwave individual portions.
Freeze your casserole for later! Wrap it well and it will last up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
For a crispy top, sprinkle some breadcrumbs or extra cheese before baking.
