1 package Italian Sausage
5-6 potatoes (we used red-skinned potatoes..but you could use any kind)
1 small onion
1 bag of frozen broccoli
1 cup of baby carrots
A few pats of butter
This recipe is pretty easy. First, cut up all the veggies (except the broccoli) and place in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in a 400 degree oven for about an hour. Meanwhile, take your sausage and place in a skillet with an inch of water. This allows the sausage to cook longer without burning. When the water has evaporated, turn and brown on all sides. Also, place the broccoli in a microwave safe bowl and defrost it while everything else is cooking.
Above is my favorite chicken sausage from TJ's of course!!
When the sausage is done, remove and slice. Add a little bit of butter into the skillet to pick up all of the browned sausage bits. (Don't skip this step... this is what makes everything come together) Reserve until veggies are done. When everything is cooked, toss it all together in the veggie pan and drizzle with the butter sauce from the skillet. Basically it is a deconstructed casserole that you put back together at the end. My entire family loves this meal (with the exception of my husband with the broccoli...he just picks it out)
We usually serve this with whole wheat rolls, and the beauty of this recipe is that you can really use any veggies and brands of sausage that you want! Enjoy!
