Sausage and Potato Bake

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!

Ingredients

• ▢ One 13-ounce package turkey smoked sausage
• ▢ 6 cups red new potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
• ▢ 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
• ▢ 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
• ▢ 1 large onion, sliced
• ▢ 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
• ▢ ¼ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• ▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ▢ 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crushed (or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped)
• ▢ 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed (or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped)
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions 

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Place the cut potatoes in a medium saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer for 10 minutes or until crisp tender. Drain the potatoes.
• Combine the sausage, potatoes, bell peppers, onion, garlic, chicken broth, olive oil and seasonings in a 12x8 inch pan (I used 13x9-inch); mix lightly. (Alternately, you can mix the sausage and vegetables in a large bowl, whisk the seasonings together separately then pour over and toss, and then transfer the mixture to the pan).
• Bake for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are lightly browned and the vegetables are tender. For crisper potatoes, bake 10 to 15 minutes longer.

Notes
