How to Make Kielbasa and Potato Bake

FOURTH STEP: In a frying pan over medium heat, lightly brown sausage pieces with olive oil (about 5 minutes). Add browned sausages to baking dish.
FIFTH STEP: In the same frying pan (now with just the leftover oil), add flour and butter and cook (over medium-low heat) until you no longer see the white of the flour.
SIXTH STEP: Add in minced garlic, milk, heavy cream, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper and cheddar cheese soup. Stir together until simmering and sauce has thickened (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in shredded cheese. Remove from heat.
SEVENTH STEP: Pour sauce into pan with potatoes and sausage. Toss well to mix until all potatoes and sausages are coated in sauce.
EIGHTH STEP: Place in oven and bake 30 minutes.
NINTH STEP: Serve hot.
