Description
A hearty oven-baked dinner featuring sausage, potatoes, asparagus, and cheddar cheese, perfect for family meals.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fully cooked chicken sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
- 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
- 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until browned on both sides. Transfer the sausage to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the potatoes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges begin to soften and lightly brown.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish. Stir in the browned sausage and asparagus pieces.
- Pour the chicken broth evenly over the mixture. Sprinkle with dried thyme and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Remove the foil. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top and bake uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Cook sausage according to package instructions and ensure it is heated through before serving.
