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.
