Ok- I’ve had a crazy week and have had NO time to cook dinner! Don’t you love anything that you can cook in one pot? When you have three kids running to three different practices and in entirely different directions, it can be frustrating.
Smoked Sausage, Potatoes, Peppers and Onions
My family is doing a no eating out challenge for the month and it’s been VERY difficult. Sometimes it would be so easy to grab fast food, but we’re all very competitive and not going to fail. We’re getting tired of slow cooker and Instant Pot meals so I thought I would change it up and added this to my meal plan. I’m going through my normal dinner recipes quickly.
This smoked sausage recipe with potatoes and peppers is an easy weeknight dinner that the whole family likes. Make sure to save your leftovers or even double the recipe! This is a delicious breakfast. You can add a fried egg on top.
Doesn’t it look so good?? The cooking time on this is only 15 minutes and no baking dish is needed.
Ingredients for Smoked Sausage and Potatoes Skillet
Smoked sausage– I used beef sausage, but you can use your favorite. Hillshire Farms has chicken and turkey sausage. I think they even have Italian sausage.
Potatoes– I like to use red potatoes, but you can even switch this out and use sweet potatoes if you prefer.
Bell Peppers– I used one yellow and one orange, but you can use whatever you have at your house. I normally get one of those colored 3-packs at the grocery store so I use what comes in that. Green bell peppers are usually cheaper than the colored ones and I usually save my red bell pepper to snack on because I love its flavor.
Olive oil
Onion
Basil– This recipe calls for dried basil, but if you use fresh you’ll need to reduce the amount you use. You can also use Italian seasoning. Everyone usually has that in their seasonings.
Salt and black pepper to taste
How to make Smoked Sausage, Peppers, Onions and Potato Skillet Recipe
Step 1
Add cubed potatoes into a greased large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 8 minutes, occasionally stirring. Here’s a link to a cast iron skillet. If you don’t have one, then I would invest in one. They are awesome!
Step 2
Add in chopped peppers and onions. Cook for 3 minutes.
Step 3
Slice smoked sausage and add to skillet. Cook for another 3 minutes.
Step 4
Mix in basil and serve.
Note: My husband adds some red pepper flakes on top to give it a little kick.
