🥫 Storage
Keep leftover casserole covered in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
This recipe doesn't freeze well. The potatoes can take on a weird texture.
📖 Variations
- If you are not a fan of pork sausage you can use chicken sausage or Italian sausage instead. I generally use all beef smoked sausage in this hearty casserole.
- Baby potatoes can be used instead of russets. If using baby potatoes just slice them in quarters.
- Bell peppers would be a great addition to this easy recipe and add a fresh flavor.
- Use pepper jack or other jack cheeses for a creamy flavor to this potato casserole.
💭 Tips
Expert Tip: Use a slow cooker liner or spray the slow cooker well with cooking spray for easy cleanup.
- Garlic powder stirred into the sour cream mixture can add some additional flavor to this slow cooker recipe.
- Cream of celery soup can be used instead of chicken soup.
- To make sure you get tender potatoes from this recipe, try to get all the diced potatoes as close to the same size as possible.
- I use thin skinned, Yukon Gold potatoes when I know I don't want to take the time to peel!
- Red potatoes work, too.
- Get onions that are all ready diced to save even more time.
