Good casseroles are a staple of American cuisine and one of our very favorite comfort foods. Whether you are serving a large crowd for the holidays, throwing together a last-minute meal or looking for something hearty to keep you warm, these are some of Premio’s best casseroles.
Premio Cheesy Brat Casserole
One of the best casserole recipes we have found is this Premio Cheesy Brat Casserole, which pairs white potatoes, creamy mushroom soup and melted cheese with authentically spiced German bratwurst for a truly indulgent meal.
First, gather these ingredients:
- Six links of Premio Fresh Bratwurst
- Olive oil or butter
- Four medium white potatoes
- One 16-ounce package of frozen cut green beans, drained and thawed
- One-third of a cup of chopped white onion
- One 10-ounce can of cream of mushroom soup
- One cup of shredded cheddar cheese
Once you have assembled the ingredients, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a skillet, cook your sausage in oil or butter until browned. While you are browning your sausage, bring potatoes to a boil, then reduce heat and cook until tender. Cut your brats into coins and dice the potatoes. Thaw and rinse the green beans before stirring all ingredients together in a casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Next, prepare the broccoli tots according to package instructions and set aside. Add in the green peppers, onion and any other fresh vegetables you have on hand. Line the bottom of a casserole dish with a layer of broccoli tots, followed by the sausage and the cooked onions and peppers. Cover with cheese. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, half and half, garlic pepper and dry mustard and pour on top of the casserole. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until cooked through.
Traditional Green Bean Casserole
When you think of green bean casserole, you might imagine a dish from childhood holidays or potluck dinners. But this traditional dish is anything but ordinary, thanks to the addition of sausage and molasses bacon seasoning.
For this recipe, you need:
- One package of your favorite Premio Sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- Four strips of bacon
- One medium onion, diced
- Four big potatoes, sliced thinly
- One can of undrained green beans
- One can of cream of chicken soup
- One-fourth of a teaspoon of McCormick Grill Mates Molasses Bacon Seasoning
In a pot, fry the bacon, then set aside and leave some grease in the pan. Use the bacon grease to sauté the onions, then add your Premio sausage and cook until browned. Next, add the green beans, sliced potatoes and cream of chicken soup, stirring thoroughly between after each addition. Crumble the bacon into bits before adding to the mixture, then stir in the McCormick Molasses Bacon Seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for half an hour before serving.
Sausage and Peppers Casserole
The addition of penne pasta makes this dish both flavorful and filling, ideal for feeding a crowd or for a simple meal at the dinner table.
For this recipe, you need the following ingredients:
- One and a half pounds of Premio Sweet & Hot Italian Sausage, cut into one-inch pieces
- Five tablespoons of olive oil

Before you begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and heat three tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the Premio sausage, then remove and set aside. Add the bell peppers and onion to the skillet and sauté. Return the sausage to the skillet before adding tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, thyme, rosemary, black pepper and water. Mix well and cook on low heat for five minutes. In a large bowl, stir the penne pasta with the remaining olive oil and add the sausage/pepper mixture. Transfer to a casserole dish and bake until sausage has cooked through, which takes about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese before serving.
