Cheesy Potato and Sausage Casserole

It is dumping rain here today..so this calls for real comfort food.  I saw this recipe awhile ago and
have been waiting for a day like today to make it.  It is not health food, it is not low carb, but on a cold and rainy day it is a pure delight.

3 cups  potatoes, peeled, boiled and cut into cubes 
 4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 lb Velveeta cheese, diced
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 lb skinless smoked sausage
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Cut smoked sausage in half, lengthwise, and then chop into 1/2 inch "half moon" cuts. Cook in a frying pan for about 15 minutes  Put cooked & diced potatoes in 2 quart casserole. Add cooked meat .

Mix all remaining ingredients (except for shredded cheddar cheese & the paprika) in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, melted and smooth. (Use a whisk and stir constantly.).

Pour cheese sauce over potatoes and meat. Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top, and then sprinkle paprika evenly over the top.
Bake at 350°F oven for 35-45 minutes.
