If you want to add more vegetables to your casserole, you can also add Brussel sprouts, carrot sticks, or sweet potatoes to this vegetable and sausage recipe. To help everything cook evenly try to cut your potatoes and other vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces. This will also help ensure that they cook at the same speed as the green beans.
To make your dish a bit spicier you can add red pepper flakes when you are tossing the vegetables and sausage with the other spices. Slap Yo Mama Cajun seasoning would also be a zesty flavor that is one of our favorite things to add when making this casserole.
