Ingredients for Potato Sausage Casserole

• Pork sausage: Pork sausage provides savory flavors for the casserole, complementing the creamy sauce and hearty potatoes. 
• Cream of mushroom soup: Undiluted, condensed soup adds creaminess, binding the ingredients together while enhancing the overall richness. If you want to avoid dairy, use a canned creamy mushroom soup made with non-dairy milk, or a homemade mushroom gravy for a fresher alternative.
• Milk: Milk adds richness to the sauce mixture, ensuring a creamy consistency. This recipe calls for 2% milk, but you can substitute almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
• Chopped onion: Provides aromatic sweetness and texture to the layers of the casserole. Shallots or leeks can be used as alternatives for a milder onion flavor.
• Potatoes: Peeled and sliced potatoes serve as the hearty base of the casserole, cooking to tender during baking. Substitute with sweet potatoes for a twist on the classic dish, adding a hint of sweetness.
• Cheddar cheese: Shredded cheddar melts into a golden, gooey topping for the casserole. For a milder flavor, use Monterey Jack cheese, or vegan cheese for a dairy-free alternative.
• Parsley (optional): Minced parsley offers a fresh garnish with visual appeal.
