As soon as a casserole comes out of the oven, it brings a sense of coziness. It makes me think of warm and welcoming get-togethers with relatives, when we share tales and laugh over big bowls of homemade food. Sausage and Potato Casserole with Spring Vegetables is a simple dish that I want to share with you today. That meal is just that kind. The classic Midwestern fondness for hearty, simple casseroles served over rice is the recipe’s inspiration. When you’re in the mood for something quick and easy that incorporates the flavor of spring vegetables, this recipe is ideal. Have faith in me when I say it’s a fantastic way to ring in the holidays and treasure family time spent eating together.

much while it may stand on its own, this dish is much better with a simple green salad drizzled with a mild vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast. And if you’re looking to add some brightness, try pairing it with some acidic coleslaw or a dollop of apple sauce. The sweet and salty flavors complement each other well.

Spring Vegetable Sausage and Potato Casserole, 6 servings

Here are the ingredients: – 1 pound of sliced sausage – 4 medium-sized potatoes (peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces) – 1 cup of trimmed and cut asparagus pieces (about 1 inch each) – 1 small yellow onion (diced) – 2 minced garlic cloves

Cheddar cheese, shredded, measuring one cup

The ingredients needed are 1 cup of broth (either chicken or vegetable), 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired; season with salt and pepper.

How to Follow

1. Spray or lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and set oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

The second step is to brown the sausage pieces in a big pan over medium heat. Lay them aside after taking them out of the pan.

3. Cook the chopped potatoes for about 10 minutes, or until they begin to soften, in the same skillet. If it seems too dry, add a little extra oil.

4. Toss in the minced garlic and diced onion with the potatoes and simmer for an additional three to five minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

5. Carefully combine the cooked potatoes, onions, and sausage with the asparagus in the baking dish that you had prepared.

6. Find a spot in the pan where you can stand comfortably and pour in the broth in a uniform layer. After that, top the mixture with the dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

7. Place the dish in a preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, covering it with aluminum foil.

8. After removing the foil, cover with the shredded cheddar cheese and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to turn golden.

9. Before topping the dish with fresh parsley, let it rest for a few minutes. Enjoy the plethora of tastes as it is served warm!
