Sausage and Green Beans 11/6/2007 George made up, gathering bits from the web sausage green beans potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch chunks onions garlic olive oil pepper cheese - i used romano and mozzarella, but doesn't really matter applesauce brown sausage in large oven-safe pan w/ a little olive oil & boil potatoes in separate pot under just enough salted water to cover potatoes for 15-20 minutes. remove sausage from pan. add some olive oil, and sautee the onions and garlic and some pepper in the oil until softened, scraping up the sausage goodness. cut sausage into one inch chunks, mix with onions and garlic. put a layer of green beans on top, and then the potatoes to cover all. put some more pepper on top, and if you're using any hard cheese like parmesan or romano, add it now. bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes, making sure sausage is done all the way through. if using soft cheese, add on top and put back in the oven or cover to melt.
