This was one of the first recipes I ever learned. It's easy and great for introducing kids or young adults to cooking. The best part is - it tastes great too! My family loves when I make this dish and the ease in which it's prepared is still appreciated all these years after it was first mastered.

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen peas

  • 1 (1 pound) package smoked sausage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 1 (15 ounce) can yellow corn, drained

  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle chili sauce

  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion

  • 1 tablespoon dried basil

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Bring a pot of water to boil; cook peas in the boiling water until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain.

  3. Mix peas, sausage, corn, chili sauce, onion, basil, black pepper, and 1 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese together in a 3-quart casserole dish.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese over casserole and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes.

Cook's Note:

Another great tip - make ahead! This is my go-to casserole when I know I'll be away from my family for dinner. You can mix ahead the same day, or make and freeze to have on hand when in a pinch.
