It looks like you’re planning to make a hearty, savory dish with sausage, potatoes, asparagus, and cheese! Here’s a recipe based on the ingredients you’ve provided:
Sausage, Potato, and Asparagus Skillet
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of your favorite sausage, sliced (such as Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, or any preferred variety)
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the sausage:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
- Add the sliced sausage to the pan and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once done, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
- Cook the potatoes:
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped potatoes to the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften and brown.
- Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme while cooking.
- Add the onion and garlic:
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the potatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
- Add the asparagus:
- Stir in the asparagus pieces and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the asparagus is tender but still crisp.
- Add the broth:
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and the broth reduce slightly.
- Combine the sausage:
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, stirring to mix everything together. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Add cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
- Garnish and serve:
- Once the cheese is melted and everything is combined, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Optional Serving Ideas:
- Serve with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a more filling meal.
- For added richness, top with a fried or poached egg.
Enjoy your Sausage, Potato, and Asparagus Skillet—a comforting, one-pan meal that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner!
