Hearty Sausage and Potatoes Recipe

I like to cook the potatoes and beans in the morning, and then I can just assemble and warm it up when I get home. If you like spicier flavor, add more seasoning.—Marlene Melton, Houston, Texas

Ingredients

2 pounds small red potatoes
2 cups fresh or frozen cut green beans
