Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground sausage
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and mashed
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional for texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine the Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, blend the ground sausage, mashed potatoes, and shredded cheese until thoroughly combined.
  3. Add Flavorful Ingredients
    Stir in the crumbled bacon, chopped onions, and beaten eggs. Add salt and pepper to suit your taste preferences. For a firmer texture, incorporate the breadcrumbs into the mixture at this point.
  4. Shape and Fill the Loaf
    Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Spread it evenly and smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
  5. Bake the Loaf
    Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The top should turn golden brown, and the loaf should be cooked through. Verify doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should emerge clean.
  6. Let It Rest
    Once baked, allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This resting period ensures easier slicing and helps the flavors meld together.
  7. Serve and Enjoy
    Slice the loaf into portions and serve warm. Pair it with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
