Method
20m55m
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a 23x33 cm (9x13 inch) baking dish with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage slices until they're nicely browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, or until they start to soften. Add a touch more oil if needed.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the potatoes and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Transfer the cooked potatoes, onions, and sausage into the prepared baking dish and gently mix in the asparagus.
- Pour the broth evenly over the mixture, then sprinkle the dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Cover the dish with aluminium foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
