# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 cup chicken broth or veggie broth
02 -
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
03 -
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine
04 -
1 small onion, yellow, chopped up
05 -
1 cup asparagus, ends snapped and chopped into little pieces
06 -
4 potatoes, medium, peeled and diced
07 -
1 lb sausage, cut in circles
→ Seasonings and Oils
08 -
salt and pepper as you like
09 -
1 teaspoon thyme, dried
10 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Garnish (Optional)
11 -
parsley, fresh and chopped
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Let everything hang out and cool for a few minutes. If you want, scatter some fresh parsley on top and dig in while it’s hot.
02 -
Take off the foil, cover the top with a good layer of cheddar, and pop it back in for another 15-ish minutes until the cheese is all melted and bubbly golden.
03 -
Put foil on top of the dish and bake for 20 minutes in the oven you already warmed up.
04 -
Drizzle the broth all over everything in the pan. Dust on some thyme, then add salt and pepper till it’s how you like.
05 -
Dump your sausage, potatoes, and onions into the oiled baking dish. Gently mix in the asparagus so it’s spread out.
06 -
Throw the chopped onion and garlic into the skillet with the potatoes. Sauté for a few minutes, stirring, until the onion gets soft and see-through.
07 -
With the same pan, cook up the potato bits for about 10 minutes, stirring here and there till they start to get tender. Splash in more olive oil if it gets dry.
08 -
Toss the sausage rounds into a big skillet on medium heat. Cook until crisp and browned, then scoop them out to a plate for later.
09 -
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 pan lightly with some olive oil or a bit of nonstick spray.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Switch out sausage for your favorite plant-based swap and grab veggie broth if you don’t want meat.
02 -
No asparagus? Try carrots chopped up or toss in a handful of spinach—also tasty.
03 -
Want it super creamy? Stir in a little sour cream or splash of cream with the potatoes before you bake.
04 -
Microwave or heat up leftovers in the oven tomorrow morning—they’re awesome for breakfast.
05 -
Take your time and enjoy. Sharing food makes everything better.
