Simple Sausage Skillet With Onions, Peppers, and Potatoes - Happy Hone

This meal is warm and comforting – a perfect fall dinner. It makes an easy meal prep option for lunch the next day as well! I love this recipe because it has protein, healthy carbohydrates and vegetables all in one skillet.

What You Will Need:

• Smoked Sausage – I prefer to use skinless sausage because I don’t like the chewiness of sausage casings.

• Onion
• Baby Potatoes

Let’s Make This Simple Sausage Skillet with Onions, Peppers, and Potatoes!

You may have noticed that there are very few ingredients needed to make this recipe. Another bonus! Let’s add up the bonuses to this recipe: 1. one skillet, 2. few ingredients, 3. quick clean-up!

First, you will brown and cook the sausage. To make life easier, I like to brown the sausage whole and then cut into slices. Set aside the cooked sausage. Next, add butter and diced potatoes to the skillet and cook on medium heat for 8 minutes.

Now its time to add in the peppers and onions. Continue cooking on medium heat for 10 minutes with the skillet covered. Stir frequently so the vegetables don’t stick to the bottom of the skillet.

Finally, add the sliced sausage back to the skillet. Cover and cook for about 3 minutes to heat up the sausage and meld the flavors together. Grab a big bowl and enjoy!
