Recipe for Busy Nights

You know those nights--you've been driving in carpool circles since 3:30, and walk in the door at 6 if your lucky!  Getting dinner on the table quick is the goal.

Here is a recipe--actually just more of a gameplan--for a dinner that can be ready 20 minutes after you walk in the door.  And it takes advantage of the Turkey Sausage on sale at Shoprite this week!


Roasted Italian Sausage, Peppers and Potato
  • 1 Package of Italian Sausage (about 5 links)
  • 2 Bell Peppers (I use one yellow, one green for color) OR bag of frozen, already sliced, such as from Trader Joes
  • 1 Sweet Onion
  • 3-4 Red potatoes (cut in thin slices to cook quick)
  • 1-2 Tbsp Olive oil
  • ¼ tsp oregano or italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic salt or fresh garlic to taste (We love garlic)
  • Dash of pepper
BEFORE CARPOOL
Cut all the veggies into strips.  Toss with olive oil and seasoning.  Cut each sausage into bite size pieces.  Spread it all on a cookie tray covered with foil.  Cook about 20 minutes in a 450 degree oven.  Put in fridge.


AFTER CARPOOL
Put in oven set to heat to 450.  Dont bother to wait for it to reach 450--just put tray in the oven.  Should be ready in about 10 minutes.
