8 servings
1 hour total (Active 25 minutes)

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 ½ lb fresh sweet potatoes (2–3)
  • 1 bunch fresh kale
  • 1 lb Italian chicken (or pork) sausages
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 oz Deli Gruyère cheese
  • 1 ½ cups stuffing mix for turkey (or chicken)
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (or stock)
  • 1 (15 oz) jar roasted garlic Alfredo sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 9-inch square baking dish with spray. Peel sweet potatoes; cut into ½-inch cubes (4 cups). Chop kale (3 cups). Remove casings from sausages (wash hands).
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan, then add sweet potatoes; cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Transfer sweet potatoes to large bowl. Add sausage to same pan; brown 4–5 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, until no pink remains and sausage is 165°F. Shred cheese (1 ½ cups).
    3. Stir sausage, stuffing mix, kale, and 1 cup broth into bowl with potatoes; transfer mixture to prepared baking dish.
    4. Combine Alfredo sauce, nutmeg, 1 cup cheese, and remaining 1 cup broth; pour sauce over sweet potato mixture. Top with remaining ½ cup cheese; bake 25–30 minutes until sauce is bubbly and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Serve.
