Creating the perfect Sausage and Potato Casserole is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious result:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Sauté the Onion: In the same skillet, add a bit of olive oil if needed, and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, cooked sausage, sautéed onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
5. Layer the Casserole: In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spread half of the potato and sausage mixture evenly. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top.
6. Add Liquid: Pour the milk and chicken broth over the layered ingredients in the baking dish.
7. Add Remaining Ingredients: Layer the remaining potato mixture and top with the rest of the cheese.
8. Cover and Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
9. Uncover and Finish Baking: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
10. Cool Before Serving: Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
