Oklahoma Comfort Food Brats Cabbage And Green Bean Casserole Recipes

BRATWURST, SAUERKRAUT AND BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook bratwurst in a skillet over medium-high heat just until nicely browned on the outside.
• Spread sauerkraut in the bottom of a 9x11 casserole dish, leaving a 2 inch margin at the edges. Sprinkle celery salt and brown sugar over the sauerkraut. Place the sausages on top. Pour the beans around the outer edge of the sauerkraut. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake for about 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until bratwurst links are cooked through.

DELICIOUS BRAT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Sauté celery and onion in small amount of olive oil or vegetable oil until partially done, about 5-8 minutes. Set aside.
• Using the same pan you used for the celery, cook the brat pieces over medium high heat until no pink remains and they are cooked through. Drain off any grease.
• In a well buttered 2-quart casserole dish, layer potatoes, then brats, then celery and onions, then green beans.
• Mix the milk with the soup, stir well to combine, and pour over layered ingredients in the casserole dish.
• Bake at 375° for 1 hour 30 minutes, uncovered.
• If desired, increase the amount of brats for a meatier meal.

A HEARTY GREEN BEAN AND SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Crumble the pork sausage into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Drain grease, and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, garlic, and pepper. Mix in the sausage, then add the green beans, and stir until evenly coated. Pour half of the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the fried onions. Spread remaining green bean mixture over the onions.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle the rest of the fried onions over the top. Return to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes, or until the onions are toasty, and green beans are cooked to your desired doneness. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
