Roasted Sweet Potato, Sausage, and Kale Bake
with Swiss Cheese Sauce
Recipe by Chef Alli
• 1 lb. sweet Italian pork sausage, crumbled (if using link sausage, simply cut
casing to remove)
• 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and
cubed (3-4 cups total)
• 2 cups beef broth
• 3/4 cup half and half (may substitute
fat-free half and half)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 1 1/2 cups finely chopped kale
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet over medium high
heat, cook sausage for 3-4 minutes; stir in sweet potatoes and continue to cook until
sausage and sweet potatoes are both nicely browned; stir in kale and continue to
cook for a few additional minutes. Transfer prepared mixture to an 8”- 9” greased
baking dish.
In the same skillet, bring broth and 1/2 cup of half and half to a simmer over medium
heat; remove from heat. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup half and
half with flour to form a thick paste; stir this mixture into the skillet, returning it to
medium heat and adding 1/2 cup of cheese, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth.
