Ingredients
  

  • 1 pkg. Hillshire Farm® Turkey Smoked Sausage
  • 6 cups red new potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 green bell pepper cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves crushed
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Saucepan
  • Frying pan
  • Oven
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400° F. Start by slicing the sausage into quarter-inch pieces. Set them aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. 2. Take a medium saucepan and add the potatoes. Cover them with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let them simmer for about ten minutes. You want them to be crisp-tender, so don’t overcook! Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
  3. 3. In a large baking dish (around 12x8 inches), combine the sautéed sausage, potatoes, bell peppers, onion, garlic, chicken broth, and olive oil. Make sure to mix everything lightly but thoroughly so the flavors can blend beautifully.
  4. 4. Add the dried rosemary, thyme, and black pepper to the mixture. This is where the magic happens! These herbs will infuse your dish with a delightful aroma and taste.
  5. 5. Once everything is well combined, place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are lightly browned and the vegetables are tender. It’s the perfect time to enjoy the delightful smell wafting through your kitchen.
  6. 6. If you prefer your potatoes crispier, you can leave them in the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. This step really elevates the texture!
  7. 7. Once your dish is done baking, carefully remove it from the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  8. 8. Serve the Sausage and Potato Bake hot, and watch your family dig in with smiles on their faces.
  9. 9. Don’t forget to save some for leftovers—they taste even better the next day!
