Bacon & Sausage Potato Loaf Delight

Ingredients:
– 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. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground sausage, mashed potatoes, and cheese. Mix until well incorporated.
3. Add the crumbled bacon, chopped onions, and beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix everything together until evenly combined.
4. If you prefer a firmer texture, fold in the breadcrumbs at this point.
5. Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and cooked through. Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean.
7. Once done, let the loaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Bacon & Sausage Potato Loaf Delight!
