Description

This delightfully simple and heartwarming dish is perfect for busy nights when time is of the essence. By using convenient cans of German potato salad, this recipe offers a fuss-free approach to a satisfying one-dish meal. The combination of savory kielbasa or sausage with creamy potato salad, topped with a crispy breadcrumb and parsley topping, creates a flavorful and comforting bake that only takes about 30 minutes in the oven. Ideal for family dinners or a quick meal, this dish delivers hearty satisfaction with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cans German potato salad (about 15 ounces each)
  • 3/4 pound kielbasa or sausage, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 3 tablespoons dry parsley flakes
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your casserole will bake evenly and thoroughly.

  2. Prepare the Casserole Dish: Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

  3. Mix the Vegetables and Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped celery, onions, and the cans of German potato salad. Stir until well mixed.

  4. Layer the Ingredients: Spoon half of the potato salad mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Arrange the slices of kielbasa or sausage on top of the potato salad layer. Next, spoon the remaining potato salad mixture over the sausage, smoothing it out with a spatula.

  5. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs with melted butter and dry parsley flakes. Mix until the crumbs are well coated and evenly combined.

  6. Add the Topping: Sprinkle the prepared breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole. This will create a deliciously crispy crust as it bakes.

  7. Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. The dish is done when the potato salad is heated through and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crispy.

  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and make it easier to dish out. Enjoy this hearty and comforting bake with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables.
