A hearty and comforting casserole featuring bratwurst, potatoes, and a creamy cheese sauce.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
Cook the bratwurst in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Remove and slice into chunks.
Cooking the bratwurst first enhances its flavor and ensures it's fully cooked.
Peel and dice the potatoes and onion. Trim the green beans.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the bratwurst, potatoes, onion, green beans, milk, and half of the cheddar cheese.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the cheese and milk coat all ingredients evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Butter the dish to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Removing the foil allows the cheese to brown and form a delicious crust.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Resting allows the casserole to set, making it easier to serve.
