- 1 pound (1 lb) green beans
- 4 potatoes
Supplementary Ingredients:
- 1 onion
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasoning:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a precise 375°F, creating an ideal cooking environment for the casserole.
- Sizzle the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbly pieces until thoroughly browned and golden.
- While the sausage cooks, transform green beans, potatoes, and onion into uniform, bite-sized morsels that will ensure even cooking and balanced flavor.
- Merge the browned sausage with chopped vegetables in a spacious mixing bowl, introducing chicken broth and seasoning to enhance the dish’s depth.
- Carefully transfer the aromatic mixture into a casserole dish, sealing tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture and promote tender vegetables.
- Slide the covered dish into the preheated oven, allowing it to roast for 45 minutes, permitting ingredients to meld and soften.
- Remove the foil, generously scatter shredded cheese across the surface, creating a golden, melting blanket of flavor.
- Return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, watching the cheese transform into a bubbling, appetizing topping.
- Extract the casserole, letting it rest momentarily before serving this hearty, comforting meal directly from the dish.
Notes
- Opt for lean sausage varieties like turkey or chicken to reduce overall fat content and create a healthier version of the dish.
- Experiment with different cheese types such as sharp cheddar or smoked gouda to add unique flavor dimensions and personalize the casserole.
- Enhance nutritional value by adding additional vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra color and nutrients.
- For gluten-free needs, ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free and use cornstarch instead of traditional thickeners if necessary.
