This delicious recipe is an easy meal perfect for busy weeknights.

It’s an easy recipe the whole family can get behind.

WHAT’S IN SMOKED SAUSAGE, POTATOES, PEPPERS AND ONIONS?

  • olive oil
  • smoked sausage
  • large bell pepper (or a mix of mini bell peppers)
  • yellow onion
  • russet potatoes
  • butter
  • garlic cloves
  • fresh kale
  • salt and black pepper
  • dry Italian seasoning

HOW TO MAKE SMOKED SAUSAGE, potatoes, peppers and onions:

Prep:

Slice the sausage 1/4 – 1/2″ thick.

Dice the potatoes, onions and peppers into about 1/2″ cubes (potatoes can be peeled if you prefer).

Drizzle olive oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage slices in a single layer.

Cook 2-3 minutes on the first side then flip them over and cook another 2 minutes until browned then remove from the skillet to a plate.

Add the potatoes, onions, peppers and butter to the skillet with the sausage dripping so they’re infused with the flavor of the sausage – yum!

Sprinkle on the Italian seasoning plus a good seasoning of salt and pepper.

Cook 8-10 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and fork tender stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat to low, add minced garlic and kale and cook 1 minute stirring constantly so the garlic doesn’t burn.

Return the smoked sausage to the skillet then cook 2 minutes to reheat the sausage and let the flavors come together.

Serve right away!

VARIATIONS AND SUBS:

  • I used hillshire farm smoked kielbasa but Italian sausage, turkey sausage, pork sausage, cajun, andioulle or even chicken sausage would also be delicious.
  • Add sliced green beans, corn or zucchini.
  • Baby potatoes (cut in half) , yukon gold potatoes or even sweet potatoes can be used.
  • Other color peppers can be used including green peppers.
  • Add sauteed baby bella fresh mushrooms.
  • Use 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder instead of garlic cloves.
  • Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary or dill) make a great addition to this dish.
  • Vegetable oil can be used instead of olive oil.
  • Sprinkle some cheddar cheese or parmesan cheese over the top and pop it in the broiler before serving.
  • The kale is optional but a little green veggie is always good!
