Ingredients Suggestions
In addition to the oblivious ingredients, feel free to swap out the russet potatoes to sweet potatoes or any of the potatoes mentioned above.
Consider adding mushrooms instead of the sausage to give it a meaty texture (we recommend using portabella mushrooms.
Consider adding lemon juice to make the flavors pop and add to add some freshness. For a “creamy” texture, add in Dijon mustard which all also add some zing to the dish. And for a crispy outer later, add top the dish with Parmesan cheese which will provide a subtle crunch to the dish.
Although you can use canned green beans, we highly recommend using fresh green beans. No need to blanch them first. The green beans are added at the second half of the cooking process. The fresh green beans will come out nice al dente bite and vibrant green.
Feel free to also add in red onions to provide a fresh sweet flavor, or you may use yellow onions. This worked well in our air fryer sausage and potatoes dish.
How To Store Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole?
To begin with, sausage green bean potato casserole cannot be stored at room temperature, and you must refrigerate it.

What To Pair With Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole?
Truth be told, this recipe is great on its own as it’s pretty enriching and flavorful. However, if you are making a huge dinner spread for family dinners or parties, it can be paired with turkey, Mac ‘n cheese, and cranberry sauce!
Best Green Bean And Potato Casserole Recipe Tips
- Make it ahead of time! If you are meal prepping, you can make this sausage green beans potato casserole ahead of time. Feel free to make it up to a day in advance. When you’re ready to serve, reheat the meal casserole in the oven at 350 degrees until it’s heated through.
- We highly recommend cutting the potatoes and sausages to similar sizes. That way, this will help them cook faster and evenly.
- Best to use fresh green beans. Frozen or canned green beans will not give you an al dente texture and may cause your dish to be mushy or wet.
- Toss Occasionally. As the dish cooks, be sure to toss the potatoes and sausages occasionally so that way you do not end up with uncooked ingredients.
- It is best to use green beans that are dry. Again, use fresh green beans if possible. Others will release more liquid and may cause your meal to be filled with liquid.
