Sheet Pan Sausage, Green Bean, and Potato Dinner

Simple comfort food sheet pan dinners are the best! Today’s Sheet Pan Sausage, Green Bean, and Potato Dinner is easy, extra flavorful, & affordable.

How about a simple one pan Sheet Pan Sausage, Green Bean, and Potato Dinner today? This is the easiest, peasiest (OK, technically there are no peas…), most affordable-est sheet pan dinner you’d ever like to see in the August 6 edition of Sunday Scratchups: Your weekly recipe from scratch around grocery sales and affordable ingredients.

(Oh and speaking of sales: I buy the highly rated Zoe extra virgin olive oil pictured here on Amazon, and highly recommend it.)

This week I bought a couple of packs of smoked sausage and kielbasa at a local grocery store’s 50% off moving sale. That made the pack of Polksa kielbasa I used here just $1.50, but you can also pick up a pack for around $2 every day at ALDI — making this a frugal one pan dinner option anytime.

Note: How prices have changed — kielbasa is now up to $2.89 everyday at ALDI, a few years later.

Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan (optional, yet recommended).

Note: You can substitute chicken sausage and sweet potatoes to lighten up the recipe a little, if desired. Be sure to cut the potatoes fairly small as shown here, so that they cook through.

One pan comfort food at its finest

Long-time readers might note that this sheet pan sausage, green beans, and potatoes recipe bears some resemblance to the always-delicious sheet pan chicken thighs with green beans & red potatoes. This is because easy sheet pan meat+potato+veggie recipes are the bomb, guys — and this particular iteration is so good. No leftovers here!

You can always change things up with different meats and veggies; just keep your seasonings complementary & proportional and think about the right cooking times for the ingredients you choose to use. We just added corn on the cob on the side here to round out the plate, because that’s also in season and on sale this week.

This easy one pan dinner recipe is naturally gluten free (as long as your sausage is).

I'm making this tonight using turkey sausage (from Aldi!) Something I learned: use a really really big bowl for these ingredients, it makes a lot. It's still cooking but smells really good!!

I made this for the first time last night. I'm not much of a cook and I'm always on the look out for simple recipes. This was simple and delicious! I can't wait to make it again. I did forget the cheese, but it was just fine without it.

So glad that it worked for you, even without the cheese! :)

Could I use canned green beans?

I've never tried. If you do, drain them really well -- & I'd worry they'd get a little mushy in a sheet pan dinner.

Scaled back on the seasoning because I didn't have the ones listed - just used salt and pepper and Italian seasoning. Was still delicious and super easy. Had a green and red pepper in the fridge so threw those in as well. Great way to use up my CSA box! Will definitely make again.

I haven’t loved other sheet pan recipes I’ve tried but this one was great! I used Gilbert’s cheddar chicken sausages and fresh green beans and potatoes that needed to get used up. This is definitely going in the rotation when I have fresh green beans!
