Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound sausage
- 4 cups green beans
- 4 cups potatoes
Aromatics and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 onion
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 2 cups chicken broth
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm your oven to a steady 350°F and grab a 9×13 inch baking dish for your casserole creation.
- Crumble the entire pound of sausage into a large skillet, cooking over medium heat until it transforms into crispy golden-brown pieces.
- Toss the chopped onion into the sausage pan, stirring until the onion becomes translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Dump the 4 cups of trimmed green beans and 4 cups of diced potatoes into a spacious mixing bowl.
- Pour the 2 cups of chicken broth over the vegetables, allowing the liquid to nestle between the ingredients.
- Add the sizzling sausage and onion mixture into the bowl, mixing everything together with gentle but thorough strokes.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper across the surface, ensuring each ingredient gets seasoned.
- Transfer the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Scatter the full cup of shredded cheese across the top, creating a golden blanket of deliciousness.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 45 minutes until potatoes turn fork-tender and cheese melts completely.
Notes
- Choose a hearty smoked sausage for deeper flavor that complements the green beans and potatoes.
- Cut potatoes and green beans into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking throughout the casserole.
- Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking to help it set and make serving easier.
- For a gluten-free version, confirm your chicken broth and sausage are gluten-free and use a lactose-free cheese if needed.
