Instructions
Preparation
- Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish.

- Wipe skillet clean and add butter. Melt over medium heat. Add flour and cook and stir for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in half-and-half. Bring to a simmer. Add garlic powder.
- Turn heat to low and add velveeta. Stir until melted.
- Add half the cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour cheese sauce over potatoes and sausage. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake in 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
