Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs sausage (kielbasa or smoked sausage), sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 2 lbs baby creamer potatoes, washed, sliced in half
- 2 15-ounce (425 grams) cans green beans, drained
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Liquids and Additional Ingredients:
- 1/8 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray to ensure smooth food release.
- Cleanse and halve creamer potatoes, then transfer to a large sealable bag for seasoning preparation.
- Drizzle vegetable oil over potatoes and sprinkle Slap Ya Mama seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes inside the bag. Vigorously shake to achieve uniform coating.
- Cook sausage in a skillet with water over medium-high heat until browned and liquid evaporates, approximately 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then incorporate into potato mixture.
- Using the same skillet, melt butter and sauté chopped onions with minced garlic until onions become translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Allow to cool briefly before adding to potato and sausage bag.
- Introduce green beans into the bag, gently tumble ingredients to distribute evenly, then carefully transfer entire mixture into prepared baking dish.
- Shield casserole with aluminum foil and roast for 40 minutes, or until potatoes reach desired tenderness when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from oven, let rest momentarily, and serve hot.
Notes
- Create a Flavor Boost by choosing spicy or mild sausage varieties to match your taste preference.
- Swap traditional pork sausage with turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner protein option that reduces overall calorie content.
- Use fresh green beans instead of frozen for a crisper texture and brighter vegetable flavor during peak seasonal availability.
- Consider adding shredded cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking for extra richness and a golden-brown crust that enhances the dish’s overall appeal.
