Dump-and-Bake Chicken Sausage, Apple and Sweet Potato Casserole
Description
The Dump-and-Bake Chicken Sausage, Apple and Sweet Potato Casserole combines peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with peeled, cored, and chopped apples and sliced onion. Fully cooked chicken sausage sliced into rounds is mixed in for protein and added flavor. The ingredients are tossed in olive oil mixed with a savory herb and garlic dry soup mix that acts as seasoning and sauce coating.
The mixture is spread in a baking dish, covered with foil, and baked at 400°F for 35 to 40 minutes until the potatoes are soft and cooked through. The casserole offers a mix of tender sweet potato and apple cubes with savory sausage and slightly softened onions, providing a balance of sweet and savory notes in one dish.
This casserole suits casual family-style meals and requires minimal preparation, as the ingredients are simply tossed and baked without prior sautéing. It is adaptable to different fully cooked sausage varieties, allowing customization of flavor profiles.
The recipe can be adjusted for fewer servings by halving the ingredients and using a smaller baking dish. Options like kielbasa sausage may substitute well depending on taste preferences.
