- 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme

- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage slices until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook potatoes for about 10 minutes until they start to soften. Add more oil if needed.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic to the potatoes and cook for another 3-5 minutes until onion is translucent.
- Transfer the cooked potatoes, onions, and sausage to the baking dish and mix in the asparagus.
- Pour broth evenly over the mixture and sprinkle with dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake for another 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let casserole rest for a few minutes, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
- Swap sausage for a plant-based alternative for a vegetarian option.
- Substitute asparagus with other spring vegetables like carrots or spinach.
- Add a dollop of sour cream or splash of heavy cream for a creamier texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, use the oven at 350°F (175°C) or microwave until warmed through.
