Substitutions For Sausage Potato Green Bean Sheet Pan Dinner
SAUSAGE: Polish sausage, kielbasa, smoked turkey sausage, chicken sausage, andouille sausage, or chorizo can be used instead of smoked sausage in this easy recipe.
VEGETABLES: You can also add Brussels sprouts, carrot sticks, or sweet potatoes to this vegetable and sausage recipe.
SPICE: To make your dish a bit spicier, add red pepper flakes when you are tossing the vegetables and sausage with the other spices.
PRO TIP:
You could also prepare this recipe ahead of time and store it in a sealable gallon-size baggie or container and then pop it on the baking pan and into the oven.
How To Make This Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole Recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray the pan with non-stick spray.
STEP TWO: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved baby potatoes and fresh green beans.
PRO TIP:
Try to cut your potatoes all the same size to help them cook evenly. And cutting them into small, bite-sized pieces will make sure they cook at the same speed as the green beans.
STEP THREE: Add the sliced smoked sausage, sliced garlic cloves, and sliced yellow onion.
STEP FOUR: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetable mixture. Using either your hands or tongs, toss the vegetable mixture until everything is completely coated.
STEP FIVE: Spread the vegetables and smoked sausage evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle the kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper.
STEP SIX: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Using a spatula, turn the vegetable mixture. Bake for another 15 minutes.
STEP SEVEN: Remove the pan from the oven, and rest for 5 minutes.
Troubleshooting This Recipe
Uneven Cooking
If parts of the casserole cook unevenly, make sure to evenly distribute the green beans and sausage in the casserole dish. You can also stir the mixture gently during baking to promote even cooking.
Casserole Is Too Watery
If the casserole is too watery, it may result from the vegetables releasing excess moisture during cooking.
Try blanching the green beans before adding them to the casserole. This can help reduce moisture content.
How To Serve Smoked Sausage Green Beans And Potatoes
Green bean and sausage casserole is best served hot.
To enhance the flavor, consider garnishing the casserole with some fresh herbs like chopped parsley or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve as a complete meal or as a main course alongside a delicious side dish such as our Spanish rice or creamy mashed potatoes.
In addition, a batch of our pull-apart garlic bread would finish the meal perfectly.

Debbie says

Teresa says
I want to make the Sausages Green Bean Potato receipe, however, does anyone know if can also be done stove top instead? Thanks!
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Teresa – we haven’t tried it out like that yet!
Richard says
That’s how I did it and a cast iron Pan on top of the stove just make sure your heat’s not too high I cooked it kind of low and slow the potatoes browned up nice everything got done sausage tasted good I made mine with laguisa sausage cause that’s what I had on hand so that a little bit more flavor to it with heat
Julie J says
My grandma made it in an electric skillet so it might be similar. And who knows how old it was considering she passed away in 1988
Amber says
Yes! In a pot with a little chicken stock, keep the lid on & it steams everything.
Gloria Fowler says
How long did you steam it for, Amber?
Susan says
Easy to make and my husband loved it.
Hilda says
Make a recipe very similar to this one and grandsons clean it up every time. Will try this recipe with other veggies as suggested. Love it.
Janet says
Can you use frozen green beans & regular potatoes sliced for this recipe?
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Janet – we haven’t tested that but I’m guessing it would work fine – you may just need to adjust the cook time a little bit. Enjoy!
Gracie says
Hi Janet.. I used frozen green beans and it turned out great!!!
CJ says
A winning meal! I saw this recipe and thought it might be an easy but not terribly attractive meal. And then I made it. My husband grew up in Thailand, so Thai has always been his favorite cuisine! He just told me that this is his favorite meal, hands-down. “I could eat this every day.” The only change I’ve made is to increase the garlic because we love garlic. Made it even better!
Amber says
I add ground thyme (makes a BIG difference), and then throw all ingredients in a large pot with about a cup of water & 1 chicken bouillon packet. Bring it to a boil, knock it down to simmer & cook until the potatoes are tender (I also brown the sausage first). LOTS more flavor this way & my kids LOVE it!
Mary Snyder says
Thank you for sharing. I was hoping this could be made in a slow cooker. I was afraid the potatoes & green beans wouldn’t get done. I’ll be making it in my slow cooker tomorrow for dinner. Thanks again
Gracie says
Made this tonight and added corn on the cob! SO delicious! Tomorrow we even have leftovers!! 🙌🏻
