Instructions
Wash, cube and boil potatoes until just fork tender.
In a saucepan, add evaporated milk, margarine, flour, shredded cheese, Velveeta and black pepper.
Warm over medium heat, whisking constantly until the cheese is melted and everything is well incorporated.
Spray the crock pot insert with cooking spray; add a layer the potatoes and top with smoked sausage.
Pour cheese mixture over the potatoes and smoked sausage; mix together gently.
Cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until bubbly, or low for approximately 5 hours. Give the casserole a good stir before serving.
The edges will get dark. If you like crispy cheese, eat the outside, or just pull off and discard. To prevent this, try using a crock pot liner.
Feel free to use smoked sausage or swap in ham. This is a great way to use leftover ham from the holidays.
Use butter or margarine, evaporated milk or regular milk, or swap in whatever cheese is your favorite for the Colby Jack. This crock pot potato casserole recipe is very forgiving.
You can peel your potatoes or leave the skins on. Just be sure to scrub the potatoes first to get the dirt off.
This is the best ever crockpot cheesy potatoes using raw potatoes. The cheese flavor from the cheese sauce is thick and holds everything together.
