Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole

Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole: Smoky sausage, tender potatoes, green beans, and savory seasonings baked in one comforting dish!

this Recipe

Let me tell you, Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole is the dinner that solves all my weeknight problems. It’s hearty, delicious, and somehow manages to taste like you’ve spent hours in the kitchen—even though you haven’t. The first time I made this, it was one of those “clean out the fridge” meals. You know the kind: random ingredients staring you down, and you’re just praying they come together into something edible.

I had kielbasa, a bag of baby potatoes, and a couple of cans of green beans. Not exactly inspiring, right? But I threw them together with some butter, seasonings, and a little prayer, and voilà—magic. My kids devoured it (a rare miracle), and even my husband, who’s weirdly picky about casseroles, asked for seconds. Now, it’s a regular in our house, especially when I need something cozy and satisfying but don’t want to dirty every dish in the kitchen. Sound familiar?

Why You’ll Love This Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole Recipe?

So, why should you make this Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole? Let’s break it down:

• One-Pan Wonder: Everything bakes together, so cleanup is ridiculously easy. Perfect for nights when the dishwasher’s already full.
• Comfort in Every Bite: Smoky sausage, buttery potatoes, and tender green beans—this dish is like a warm hug after a long day.
• Customizable: Got extra veggies or a different type of sausage? Toss them in! This casserole is super forgiving.
• Feeds a Crowd: Whether it’s dinner for the family or a potluck dish, this recipe makes plenty.
• Make-Ahead Friendly: You can prep it earlier in the day and bake it fresh when you’re ready.

Ingredient Notes:

Each ingredient in this casserole plays its part. Let’s talk about why it works:

• Kielbasa Sausage: Smoky and savory, it’s the star of the show. Smoked sausage or even chorizo would work, too, if you’re feeling adventurous.
• Baby Creamer Potatoes:They bake up creamy and tender without peeling, which is a win in my book.
• Green Beans: Canned green beans keep it simple, but fresh or frozen work just as well. If you go fresh, just blanch them first.
• Onions and Garlic: The flavor boosters. Sautéing these in butter makes the whole kitchen smell amazing.
• Seasonings: Slap Ya Mama® seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes bring just the right amount of kick. Not into spice? Dial it down a notch.
• Butter and Oil: Because buttery potatoes are just better. Enough said.

How To Make Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole?

This recipe is straightforward, but let’s go step by step to make sure it’s foolproof.

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F. Grab a 9×13-inch baking dish and grease it up. Non-stick spray works, but butter’s better if you want to go all in.

Step 2: Season the Potatoes
Wash your baby creamer potatoes and slice them in half. Toss them into a big resealable bag (or bowl if that’s what you’ve got). Add the vegetable oil, Slap Ya Mama® seasoning, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Seal the bag and shake it up like you’re prepping for a workout—it’s oddly satisfying.

Step 3: Cook the Sausage
Slice the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces and cook them in a pan with a splash of water. Let them brown up a bit—it adds so much flavor. Once they’re golden and slightly crispy, let them cool for a minute and toss them into the bag with the potatoes.

Step 4: Sauté the Onions and Garlic
Using the same pan (because fewer dishes = happier you), melt the butter and sauté the onions and garlic. They should be soft, fragrant, and slightly golden. Add this buttery, aromatic goodness to the bag.

Step 5: Add the Green Beans
Drain the green beans and add them to the mix. Give the bag one final shake to make sure everything’s coated in flavor. This part always feels like the home stretch.

Step 6: Bake the Casserole
Dump everything from the bag into your greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly, cover it with foil, and bake for about 40 minutes. The potatoes should be fork-tender, and the whole thing should smell irresistible.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Once it’s done, let it cool for a few minutes. Then dig in—it’s hearty, comforting, and practically begging for seconds.

Storage Options:

If you manage to save any (unlikely, but let’s pretend):

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or oven for best results.
• Freezer: Freeze individual portions in freezer-safe containers for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Variations and Substitutions:

Want to mix things up? Here’s how to make this casserole your own:

• Switch the Protein: Try turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or even tofu for a vegetarian twist.
• Add Veggies: Carrots, bell peppers, or even mushrooms would be amazing here.
• Spice It Up: Double the red pepper flakes or add a splash of hot sauce if you like a kick.
• Use Fresh Green Beans: If you’ve got fresh green beans, just blanch them for a couple of minutes before adding.

What to Serve with Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole?

This casserole is hearty enough on its own, but here’s how to round it out:

• Salad: A simple green salad with a tangy vinaigrette balances the richness.
• Bread: Crusty rolls or garlic bread are perfect for soaking up those buttery juices.
• Drinks: Pair with a cold beer, iced tea, or even a light red wine.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use fresh green beans instead of canned?

Totally! Just blanch them first so they’re tender by the time the casserole is done baking.

Can I make this casserole ahead of time?

Yep! Assemble everything, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. Just bake it fresh when you’re ready to serve.

How can I make this less spicy?

Skip the red pepper flakes and use a milder seasoning blend.

Notes

To make our delicious Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole gluten-free it's essential to choose the sausage. Some sausages contain ingredients or seasonings that have gluten so it's important to select a sausage that is clearly labeled as gluten-free. Also pay attention to the spices you use, like Slap Ya Mama® seasoning. While this seasoning is naturally gluten-free there is a risk of cross-contamination during processing. Therefore always opt for brands that guarantee a gluten-free product. This simple substitution doesn't compromise the taste or texture of the dish allowing everyone to enjoy the comforting goodness of this casserole without any worries, about gluten.
