This casserole is flavorful, filling, and doesn’t take long to throw together! Creamy potatoes, healthy green beans, and savory sausage make one amazing combination. This recipe calls for smoked sausage, but some shredded corned beef would make it the perfect St. Patrick’s Day meal or a great option to use up the leftover meat from your Irish feast. Serving this delicious dish with some rolls and a crisp, green salad makes it the perfect dinner for any holiday, special occasion, or just because!

Ingredients:

1.5 lbs. smoked sausage, sliced (I use Andouille for a little kick, but any fully-cooked, smoked sausage works!)
2 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
2 cans of green beans, drained (or about 3 cups of chopped, fresh green beans if you prefer!)
½ yellow onion, chopped
¼ cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
3 cloves minced garlic
4 tbsp. olive oil, divided
2 tbsp. butter
2 tsp steak and chop seasoning(I used Weber)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
Pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large skillet on medium heat, add 2 tbsp. olive oil and sliced sausage. Cook until browned. Set aside.

Cut the potatoes into quarters and place in a gallon Ziploc bag (or a large mixing bowl if you prefer)
Drizzle 2 tbsp. olive oil over the potatoes and season with salt, steak seasoning, pepper, and garlic powder.
Seal the bag and shake to coat.
Add the sausage to the bag (or bowl).
Return the same skillet to medium heat and add the butter. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and sauté until soft. Cool slightly, then add to the bag along with the two cans of drained green beans.
Mix well, then pour into a greased 9×13 baking dish.

Cover with foil and bake for 40-45 minutes or until potatoes are tender and a fork goes through easily.
Uncover and sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the casserole. Bake for another 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle on the fresh parsley.
