This might be the easiest recipe we’ve ever made! Think of it like a one-pot meal just in a casserole dish. All we do is combine the ingredients and pop them in the oven. The sausage infuses the veggies with savory flavor, meaning even our little ones don’t complain.
The cheese topping doesn’t hurt, either. It’s filling. It’s nutritious. And it’s just so dang tasty. This sausage and potato bake will be a new family favorite for sure.
Ingredients and Notes
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the complete details!
- Veggies – Russet potatoes, frozen cut green beans, onion, and garlic form the bulk of the casserole, adding savory flavor and lots of nutrients. Substitute any Yukon Gold or red potatoes, if preferred! We think fresh green beans would also work, but we haven’t tested them.
- Sausage – We love turkey smoked sausage slices, but any smoked sausage tastes great.
- Spices – Salt, pepper, and paprika enhance the savory flavor and add just a touch of spice for extra depth. It doesn’t actually make the casserole spicy!
- Broth – This helps everything cook and adds savory flavor. We almost always have homemade chicken broth on hand, but store-bought chicken or vegetable broth is totally fine. Look for low-sodium varieties to prevent your casserole from being too salty.
- Cheese – We love topping this sausage potato bake with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, but you could also use mozzarella, provolone, cheddar, or pepper jack.
How to Make This Sausage and Potato Bake in 3 Easy Steps!
- Combine. Add all the ingredients except the broth and cheese to a greased baking dish, and mix to combine. Then, pour the broth evenly on top.
2. Bake. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil, and bake. Uncover at the very end to allow the potatoes to crisp.
3. Serve. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top, and enjoy warm!
Serving Suggestions
Honestly, this recipe is so filling we don’t typically even need to add a side. However, you can never go wrong with garlic cheddar biscuits, sourdough bread, or a light salad such as our Greek mason jar salad or a spinach & roasted eggplant salad.
