Quick Filling meals

[Sickgirl Creations *SGC*{PLA}]

I came up with this one when I was pregnant with my first baby. I was having cravings for all sorts of food but this was a quick easy and cheap meal that My husband fell in love with. This is definatly not a low fat meal but it's great if you don't have much money and you need a filling meal

1 Kilbasa Sausage
3-5 potatoes (peeling is optional and amount of poatatoes is depending on how many servings you want)
1- 2 cups of shreaded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup milk
either 2 tbs garlic powder or 1 tbs fresh crushed garlic
1 tbs salt
1-2 tbs pepper
3 tbs water (for the sausage)
4-8 cups water (enough water to cover all the potatoes in a pot)

boil the potatoes in a large pot with 4-8 cups water till soft, test with a fork after about 30-40 min if the fork sinks in with little resistance there ready and you can remove from the heat. cut the sausage into small bit size pieces i usualy cut the whole sausage in half and then i continue to cut each piece into little circles right off the whole pieces. then put 3 tbs of water in a pan and heat the sausage till lightly browned all over in the pan on med heat, stir frequently.

While the sausage is cooking take the butter, milk, chedder cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper and mash and mix all of the items into the potatoes till thick and creamy and the cheese is melted throughout the potatoes. when the sausage is done drain the excess grease and add to the mashed potatoes.

This is one of my familys favorite meat and potatoe meals and my kids and husband love it. I hope you will enjoy it too.
