Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Brown Sausage: In a large oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage or kielbasa and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté them until softened, roughly 3 minutes, to build flavor.
  4. Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Stir in the halved baby potatoes, broccoli florets, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer to combine all flavors.
  5. Combine and Bake: Return the browned sausage to the pot, cover it, and place the pot in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Add Cheese and Finish Baking: Remove the pot from the oven, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole, and return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe pot or Dutch oven to ensure safe transfer from stovetop to oven.
  • You can substitute smoked sausage with kielbasa or any other favorite sausage.
  • For a spicier kick, consider adding red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Baby potatoes can be substituted with quartered small red or Yukon gold potatoes.
  • Make sure the chicken broth covers the vegetables well to prevent drying during baking.
