Sausage Green Bean and Potato Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb sausage sliced into ¼-inch thick pieces
- 2 lb baby potatoes, washed and halved
- 2 cans (15 oz each) green beans, drained
- 2 tbsp Garlic Olive Oil
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Creole seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your oven is ready when you're finished preparing the casserole.
- Wash and halve the baby potatoes, then slice the sausage into ¼-inch thick pieces. This preparation ensures even cooking and distribution of ingredients in the casserole.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until it begins to brown. Then, add finely chopped onions and cook until they're softened and translucent.
- Once the onions are cooked, add minced garlic to the skillet. Let it cook until fragrant, then add butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, creating a flavorful base for the casserole.
- Sprinkle Creole seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes into the skillet with the sausage mixture. Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly and infuse them with flavor.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, drained green beans, and the seasoned sausage mixture from the skillet. Mix everything together thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding salt to taste. Stir well to incorporate the salt throughout the casserole mixture.
- Pour chicken stock into the bowl with the casserole mixture. This adds moisture and additional flavor to the dish. Stir everything together to ensure the chicken stock is evenly distributed.
- Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Transfer the sausage, potato, and green bean mixture into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to trap moisture and prevent the casserole from drying out. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
- Once the casserole is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven and serve hot. This hearty dish can be enjoyed as a main course or as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite meal.
