It’s like the soup but in a casserole form! With Italian sausage, potatoes, kale and parmesan cheese you’ll be asking for seconds. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz Italian sausage
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups chopped kale
  • 20 oz Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • Bacon crumbles for topping, optional

Instructions

  1. Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. When display says HOT add in the sausage and break it up. Add in the onions. Brown for 5 minutes, drain off excess grease. Stir in the garlic. 
  2. Pour in the broth and scrape the bottom of the pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
  3. Add in the kale and potatoes.
  4. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set manual/pressure cook button to 4 minutes. When time is up move valve to venting and remove the lid. 
  5. Stir a half cup of the hot mixture from the Instant Pot into the half and half to temper it. Pour it into the pot.
  6. Stir a tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 Tbsp cold water until smooth. Stir the mixture into the pot to thicken the sauce. Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting and stir until thickened.
  7. Sprinkle in the parmesan cheese and serve.
