Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bratwurst sausages
- 4 medium yellow potatoes
- 3 large carrots
- 200 grams green beans
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 cups shredded Gruyère cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
Wash the yellow potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Trim the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the bratwurst sausages on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausages from the skillet and slice into 1-inch rounds.
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1 minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in the chicken broth. Stir continuously to prevent lumps.
Once the mixture begins to thicken, add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In the prepared casserole dish, layer the potato cubes, sliced carrots, green beans, and bratwurst rounds evenly.
Pour the creamy sauce over the ingredients, making sure everything is evenly coated. If using Gruyère cheese, sprinkle it on top.
Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
