Now, this sausage green bean potato casserole is great to serve all on its own, but I think it's even better served with some tasty side dishes. A few of my favorite things to serve next to it are these stuffed mushrooms, this sweet potato cornbread, and these honey glazed carrots. Having said that though, this potato casserole can really be served alongside anything that you want! 

Ingredients

The ingredients that you need for this sausage green bean potato casserole are pretty much all pantry staples. Honestly, the only thing that you might not have at home already is the sausage!

With that said, here's what you'll need to make this easy casserole recipe: 

• 1 lb. kielbasa sausage or smoked sausage,  sliced 
• ½  lb. small potatoes, washed and quartered 
• ½ lb. green beans, trimmed and cut
• 1 red onion, quartered
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp. all seasoning
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• ¼ cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• Salt and Pepper to taste

It doesn't get better than that, am I right?

Also, just so you know, you can use a lot of these same ingredients to make this sausage and lentil soup. So, if you've got sausage left over after you make this casserole, you might want to give that a try too!

Oh, and if you have extra potatoes, you can use them to make this ham and potato casserole! It's really great for breakfast or dinner, and it's just delicious.

Ingredient Substitutions and Modifications

So, as you know from the name, one of the main components of this casserole is the green beans. While I do recommend using fresh green beans, you can certainly use canned or frozen green beans too. If you go the frozen route though, allow them to thaw overnight in the refrigerator and strain out the liquid before incorporating your green beans into this recipe.

Now, of course, another component of this delicious recipe is the potatoes. For the potatoes, I used creamer potatoes, but you can use russet potatoes or baby red potatoes instead of the creamer potatoes. Just make sure to cut whatever you use into even-sized quartered chunks so they all cook at the same time. 

Finally, the last component is the sausage. You can use kielbasa sausage, Italian sausage, hot sausage, or really any other type you want! So, feel free to switch it up every time you make this casserole.

How To Make Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole

This sausage green bean potato casserole recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish. But, as I mentioned, only a few minutes is active cooking time. The rest of the time is just waiting for this casserole to bake in the oven!

Also, as far as steps go, they're are just 3 to follow. So, even if you're super inexperienced in the kitchen, this recipe will be a breeze to make.

So, with all that said, let's stop wasting time and dive into how to make this casserole!

Step 1: Cook The Sausage

First things first, you'll want to preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC).

Next, slice the sausages, if you haven't done so already, and them into a non-stick skillet coated with oil - or cooking spray - and cook over medium-high heat. Saute the sausages for a few minutes on each side until they're fully cooked, then set them aside for later.

Step 2: Prepare The Casserole

Once the sausages are cooked, you can prepare the rest of this casserole.

So, to do this, take out a large mixing bowl, and add the sliced potatoes, veggies, garlic, seasoning, onion powder, chicken broth, olive oil, salt, and pepper to it. Then, give all of these ingredients a good mix until they're thoroughly combined.

Step 3: Bake The Casserole

So, now that all of the components are prepared add the veggie and potato mixture to the prepared baking dish, and then add the cooked sausage slices on top of those. Bake the casserole for about 35 minutes or until vegetables and potatoes are fork tender.

Finally, serve your casserole warm with whatever main and side dishes that you want for a complete meal, and enjoy!

With that said, don't worry about having leftovers because they store really well. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container. Stored this way, it'll last in the fridge for about 3-4 days.

How To Reheat Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole

Now, if you store this casserole, you can definitely eat it cold, but I think it's better warmed back up. So, with that said, to reheat your leftovers, just put all of them back in a casserole dish and warm them up in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes - or until warm.

Alternatively, you can put everything in a skillet over medium heat and saute for a few minutes. Just constantly move everything around the pan until it reaches your desired temperature.
