Main Dishes Recipe ⤏ Healthy Big Bowl

Comfort food with vegetables. I made up this recipe. Both my 18-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter loved it - it's not always easy to satisfy them both!

Ingredients

• 7 red potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
• salt
• ½ cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 links smoked beef sausage (such as Eckrich®), sliced into 1-inch pieces
• 1 bunch asparagus, stemmed and chopped
• 2 cups frozen sweet white corn
• 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
• 3 cups beef broth
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more as needed
• ground black pepper

Cooking Directions

1. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are very soft, about 20 minutes. Drain.
2. Place potatoes in a large bowl. Add milk, butter, and garlic. Blend potatoes until creamy with an electric mixer. Divide mashed potatoes among bowls.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage; cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chopped asparagus, corn, and broccoli florets. Pour in broth; cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
4. Scoop 1 cup of broth out of the skillet into a small bowl. Whisk in flour until smooth. Pour broth mixture back into skillet. Stir until a thickened gravy forms, about 5 minutes.
5. Serve sausage mixture and gravy over mashed potatoes. Season with black pepper.
