Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity

Olive oil 2 teaspoons
Garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon
Salt and pepper to taste As needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large casserole dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, toss the sausage, potatoes, green beans, and diced onion with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. For ease, you can also mix everything directly in the casserole dish. Optional: brown the sliced sausage in a skillet first for extra flavor.
  3. Bake Covered: Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sausage is cooked through.
  4. Finish Golden: Remove the foil and bake an additional 5–10 minutes to allow the top to turn lightly golden and slightly crisp.
  5. Serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle. Serve warm and enjoy a comforting, hearty meal.

This one-pan dish brings together simple ingredients for maximum flavor, making it a perfect choice for busy nights or casual family gatherings.
