Why you’ll love this version of green beans and sausage

How to make this sheet pan Alfredo

Step 1. Make the sauce. To a medium sauce pan, melt the butter and whisk the flour in until it’s combined. Add the heavy cream and pepper, and let simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool so it isn’t boiling, and gradually add the Parmesan, stirring constantly. Set aside.

Step 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash and prep your beans. Lay them out on a greased sheet pan. Spray with oil and season with your favorite seasonings. I use seasoned salt, pepper and garlic powder. Roast for about 15 minutes, or until they are close to your desired doneness.

Step 3. While the beans cook, brown your sausage. Set aside.

Step 4. Once the beans are done, remove them from the oven. Top with the browned sausage, cheddar cheese and Alfredo sauce, in that order. Return to the oven and broil until the top is a little browned.
