STEP TWO: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved baby potatoes and fresh green beans.

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.
