1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease a 3-quart baking dish.
2

Brown the sausage pieces in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes; transfer them to a large bowl.
3

Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Stir in the thyme, then season with salt and pepper.
4

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, and stir until the flour is absorbed, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth and half-and-half. Bring to a boil while stirring, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
5

Add the green beans, potatoes, and carrots to the bowl with the sausage; add the sauce and stir to coat everything with the sauce. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil.
6

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil, stir, and sprinkle the fried onions on top.
7

Continue baking until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the onions have crisped slightly, about 20 minutes more. Serve warm.
