This is an easy recipe to fix the day before grocery shopping day. This is, if you still have some potatoes in the bin and sausage in the freezer.

I remember when I was working and we were living from paycheck to paycheck. Supper the night before Friday (I was paid on Fridays) was often pretty lean. However, I usually had ingredients for this dish on hand. So, save some potatoes and onions, plus a roll of bulk pork sausage in the freezer for this casserole. No chicken broth? Two chicken bouillon cubes and 2 cups water will do. Be careful with the salt. You can always add more later.

You can easily prepare this when you get home from work. It is a speedy top of the stove casserole. Fry some eggs to go with it. That makes it almost like breakfast.

2 lbs potatoes, peeled and sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet, add sausage and crumble into large bits. Cook until lightly browned. Drain well. In Dutch oven or heavy 4 quart saucepan, put, in layers, the sliced potatoes, sausage and onions.
