Sausage, Potatoes & Peppers

Sausage Potatoes & Pepper Bake

(Orginal Recipe)

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 to 60 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 pound Italian sausage, hot, sweet, or mixed, each cut crosswise into 3 chunks.

2.5lbs Red Potatoes, cubed

2 large bell peppers (1 Green 1 Yellow), seeded and cut into 1-inch strips

1 medium sweet onion, sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)

1/4 cup olive oil

2 teaspoons dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Recipe Preparation

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. For easy cleanup line a large roasting pan (large enough to comfortably fit all the ingredients in a single layer) with aluminum foil. (I like to use a half sheet pan.)

Place the sausage, potatoes, peppers, onions and garlic (if using) in the pan. Drizzle the olive oil over the ingredients. Season with the oregano, salt and pepper. Toss to coat everything with the oil and seasonings. Roast in the oven until the potatoes are tender and the sausage is browned, 45 to 60 minutes, stirring the mixture every 20 minutes or so.


(Changes I have made to Orginal Recipe)

Since sometimes I don't have an hour to prepare dinner, sad but true. This can also be made in the crockpot. Cook on low all day.

I have also made it using Jimmy Dean Italian Ground Sausage, because that's what I had in the freezer.

Leftovers are great on a toasted hoagie or served over pasta.
