Why This Easy Meal Works
It's a simple dish that the whole family enjoys and pairs nicely with a fresh, crisp green salad to round out your complete meal.
I love that you only need a handful of ingredients for this recipe and they're all common pantry staples that require minimal prep and come together quickly.
Simple Ingredients
- Fully cooked smoked sausage: Browning the sausage before adding to the dish gives the meat a little caramelized coating.
- Baby creamer potatoes: I use a mixture of red and white baby potatoes. You could even use diced sweet potatoes or small Yukon gold potatoes. Any combination of potatoes or a single type of potato will work. Different potatoes may require more or less cooking time.
- Canned green beans: thawed frozen green beans could also be used. You can use fresh green beans too, trimming the ends first.
- Onion: White or yellow.
- Herbs and seasonings- minced garlic cloves, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and fresh parsley
- Olive oil
How to make sausage green bean potatoes
- Step 1: Prep ingredients by slicing sausage, washing and dicing the potatoes, and roughly chopping the onions. Combine the sausage, potatoes, green beans, onion, garlic, olive oil, and seasonings. Stir to coat everything.
- Step 2: Dump the mixture in a prepared 9x13-inch baking dish that's been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake in the oven and garnish with parsley, if using, before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Serve this with your favorite pork chops for a lovely easy dinner idea.
- Around halfway through the baking time, be sure to mix the contents of the baking dish around so everything bakes evenly.
- Instead of green beans, you can use a different veggie like brussels sprouts, broccoli florets or carrots.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container or a casserole dish with a lid in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Leftovers can frozen in a freezer-safe container or freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw the frozen meal in the fridge overnight before reheating in a baking dish or on a sheet pan in the oven.
- Reheat leftover green bean potato casserole in the microwave or in the oven. If drying out, add a splash of chicken broth to keep everything moist while reheating.
Recipe Tips
Use your favorite delicious sausage. I used smoked sausage, but any fully cooked sausage can be used- try making this with chicken sausage, turkey sausage, kielbasa sausage, or even chorizo.
If you want to transform this into a sheet pan meal, you could. Instead of baking in a dish, once you've mixed everything and seasoned it all, try assembling everything on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and baking that way.
Add any of your other favorite hearty vegetables to this. Corn or bell peppers would be a good addition to try. To amp up the protein in this recipe, you can add cooked chicken, beef, or other pork to this casserole recipe. Be sure to stir everything well halfway through the roasting process so everything gets cooked properly.
Yes, you can use fresh-cut green beans or even frozen. Just make sure to thaw the frozen green beans out beforehand.

No, the potatoes aren't parboiled, but you could certainly do that if you prefer.
Are the potatoes parboiled? Does the sausage tend to burn if baked that long? Looks great… just wondering if potatoes have to bake does the sausage suffer?
No, the recipe instructions do not say to cover with aluminum foil.
Should you use foil or not
