Healthy Big Bowl

Ingredients

• 7 red potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
• Salt
• 1/2 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

Directions

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.

Place potatoes in a large bowl. Add milk, butter, and garlic. Blend potatoes until creamy with an electric mixer. Divide mashed potatoes among bowls.

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.

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.

Serve sausage mixture and gravy over mashed potatoes. Season with black pepper.
