Directions:

  1. 1
    Cut skinless smoked sausage in half, lengthwise, and then chop

    Meanwhile, put cooked & diced potatoes in 2 quart casserole.
    Add cooked meat and give it a gentle toss.

    Mix all remaining ingredients (except for shredded cheddar cheese
    & the paprika) in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, melted and smooth.
    (Use a whisk and stir constantly.).
  4. 4
    Pour white/cheese sauce over potatoes and meat. Sprinkle shredded
    sharp cheddar cheese on top, and then sprinkle paprika evenly over the
    top.
  5. 5
    Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 35-45 minutes (watch, until
    golden brown on top).
