PRO TIP:

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.
