Ingredients
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 pounds baby creamer or Yukon gold potatoes, halved

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1/2 cup crispy fried onions (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced sausage and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

5. Transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
6. Pour chicken broth over the vegetables and meat. Sprinkle with dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
7. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
8. Bake the casserole for 45 minutes.
9. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
10. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crispy fried onions on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
11. Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
1. Pre-blanch fresh green beans for vibrant color and crisp texture in your casserole.
2. Add a layer of crispy fried onions or breadcrumbs for a perfect crunchy topping.
3. Combine sausage or mushrooms for added flavor and texture variations.
