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

- 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

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.

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.

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.

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.
