Dad-in-law always wants this when he’s here – he can’t get enough!
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray.
Cook the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage slices until they’re nicely browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the chopped potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, or until they start to soften. You might want to add a touch more oil if needed.
Add Onions and Garlic: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the potatoes and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Combine Ingredients: Transfer the cooked potatoes, onions, and sausage into the prepared baking dish and gently mix in the asparagus.
Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the broth evenly. Then sprinkle the dried thyme, salt, and pepper over the mixture.
Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
Add Cheese and Bake Again: Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Rest and Serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy the abundance of flavors!
