Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a large casserole dish lightly with olive oil or cooking spray.
Wash and peel the potatoes and carrots. Slice the potatoes, carrots, and onion into bite-sized thin rounds. Cut the broccoli florets into smaller chunks if necessary.
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced potatoes and carrots, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until slightly softened.
Add the garlic cloves (minced), onion slices, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for another 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly tender but not cooked through.
Stir in the Italian seasoning, remaining salt, and black pepper. Remove the skillet from heat.
In the prepared casserole dish, layer half of the sautéed vegetable mix on the bottom. Evenly distribute half of the sliced kielbasa over the veggies. Repeat with a second layer of vegetables and kielbasa.
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the breadcrumbs until coated, then remove from heat and set aside.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Drizzle the milk over the cheese. Finally, sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs on top for a crispy crust.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the aluminum foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty Kielbasa Veggie Casserole!
