Here’s a very simple one-dish, delicious dinner to make for one of those “Oh my gosh, I have to feed all of these people and I don’t feel like cooking!” nights: Sausage and Potato Bake
This is an easy dinner recipe that everyone will enjoy. It’s quite delicious, and it’s not as heavy as many meals.
Ingredients needed:
- turkey smoked sausage
- red potatoes
- green bell pepper
- red bell pepper
- onion
- garlic
- reduced-sodium chicken broth
- olive oil
- rosemary and thyme (dried or fresh)
- freshly ground black pepper
Here are all of the ingredients you need for the recipe (I used fresh herbs, but you can most certainly use dried). I do like to use smoked sausages in recipes because they’re so easy to toss it into soups, casseroles, and eggs. And they’re totally kid- friendly too. Oh, and another bonus… it’s easy to make this recipe gluten free.
For the recipe- the sausage is sliced, and the potatoes are cut into chunks.
The potatoes are boiled for a short time then drained.
Peppers are chopped, onions are sliced and garlic is pressed. I use fresh herbs since I have them growing in my backyard, but you can most certainly used dried instead (see the recipe below for specifics on measurements).
I whisk the seasonings separately to make sure they are well- combined before adding to the rest (olive oil, garlic, herbs, broth, pepper).
If you don’t want to wash another bowl, you can choose to toss the seasonings in the baking pan with the veggies/sausage. I quickly toss them in a bowl instead…
… then transfer everything to my festive baking dish. That’s it! Easy meal, completely prepared and ready for the oven.
30 to 45 minutes in the oven and your Sausage and Potato Bake is totally done- potatoes delightfully crispy on the edges, and peppers and smoked sausage perfectly roasted. We enjoy the warm comfort of this dish on a gloomy day! I love the simplicity of the recipe and ease of clean- up too. We serve it with a big, green salad, and everyone in the family is pleasantly stuffed and happy!

THIS WAS SOOOO GOOD LORI! I bought Apple & Chardonnay Chicken Sausage from Trader Joe’s and forgot all about getting some more rosemary – but this recipe is a keeper for sure! We took it to our New Year’s Eve party and it was a hit!
I have this prepped and ready to take to a New Year gathering. Hope everyone likes!
Tried this tonight with a couple of minor substitutions – still delicious! Well done, Hillshire Farm (& Recipe Girl)!
