In a 2.2 qt pyrex i sprayed with "Pam" and put a layer of the potatoes down

cut the sausage links into pieces and cooked them in a frying pan

in the same pan i put the milk and the soup and mixed it together with the salt and pepper

i layered some sausage

 layered some cheese

Put half the soup on

and repeated the steps except the cheese, so it was potatoes, sausage and soup

covered with foil and cooked for 60 min

removed cover and put the remaining cheese over and put it back in the oven for another 10-15 min or until the cheese was creamy and melted.
