# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 cup chicken or veggie broth
02 - 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
03 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
04 - 1 small yellow onion, diced
05 - 1 cup asparagus, ends trimmed and chopped
06 - 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut up
07 - 1 lb sausage, sliced

→ Seasonings and Oils

08 - salt and pepper, as much as you like
09 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
10 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Garnish (Optional)

11 - chopped fresh parsley

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - After you pull it from the oven, let it cool off for a bit. Throw on some fresh chopped parsley if that’s your thing, then dig in while it’s warm.
02 - Toss cheddar cheese all over the top. Slide it back into the oven without the foil for 15 minutes or until you’ve got bubbly, golden cheese.
03 - Grab a sheet of foil, cover up your dish, and stick it in that hot oven for 20 minutes.
04 - Splash broth around the pan so everything stays juicy. Shake on some thyme and hit it with salt and pepper so the flavors pop.
05 - Spoon potatoes, onions, and sausage into your greased baking dish. Gently work in the asparagus too.
06 - Now throw in your diced onion and garlic with the potatoes. Stir and cook 3 to 5 minutes until the onions look see-through.
07 - Drop your cut potatoes in the skillet and stir them every so often for around 10 minutes so they start softening. Add extra oil if things get sticky.
08 - Slice your sausage and cook them in a big skillet on medium heat till they’re brown, then move them onto a plate for later.
09 - Fire up your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 dish so nothing sticks when you bake.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Want it meatless? Swap out sausage for a plant-based one and stick with veggie broth.
02 - Don’t have asparagus? Toss in sliced carrots, spinach, or other spring veggies instead.
03 - For something creamier, stir in a spoonful of sour cream or a splash of heavy cream with the potatoes before it cooks.
04 - If you have leftovers, just reheat them in the microwave or oven for a tasty breakfast.
05 - Just have fun—cooking’s always better when you share a meal.
