Ingredients
  

1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, depending on preference)

4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Cook the sausage: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.

      Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

        Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned sausage, sautéed onion and garlic, diced potatoes, green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, oregano, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

          Transfer to baking dish: Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Pour the sausage mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.

            Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.

              Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                Garnish and serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
