A hearty and flavorful casserole combining smoked sausage, fresh vegetables, and a creamy cheese blend, perfect for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced carrots, broccoli florets, and sliced smoked sausage.
Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Add 1.5 cups of the colby-monterey jack cheese and the milk to the bowl, mixing until well combined.
Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed for a creamy texture.
Season the mixture with garlic powder and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Taste the mixture before baking to adjust the seasoning.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Press the mixture gently to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
For a golden crust, use a bit more cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious creation!
Cooling allows the flavors to meld and makes serving easier.
