Baked Gnocchi & Cheese Casserole with Sausage

Hey everyone!  Are you looking for the perfect casserole?  Well I found one that is pretty great, and it comes together in a snap!  This casserole has gnocchi, which is a potato-based pasta found in your local grocery stores frozen food isle.  It took me forever to find it because it was in the bread section...what the heck?!  And there is even a potato section!  Any-who, this is the ultimate comfort food with pasta, sausage, and lots of cheese.   It would be good to make for picky eaters! 

Here is the ingredients needed:


Cook the sausage, onion, and garlic in a large pot over medium heat and cook until the sausage is brown.



Drain the sausage mixture.


Add the gnocchi, milk, Italian cheese, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream.  Stir.


Pour the mixture into a 9x13 in. casserole dish.  Top with Parmesan cheese.


Bake at 375F for 45-50 minutes.
