One-pan magic: Sheet Pan Sausage, Peppers, and Onions. This was so easy, so delicious, and the whole fam loved it. And less clean up, too. A check in the “win” column, no?
I used Trader Joe’s sweet Italian style sausage, and sliced onions and peppers tossed in a little bit of olive oil. I sprinkled the veggies with a little bit of salt and pepper, and sprinkled the whole pan with a smidge of Italian seasoning. I cooked at 400F for about 25 minutes*. Served it all with brown basmati rice, and some fresh fruit for dessert. Busting out of our Taco Tuesday rut here, I tell ya.
* I used sausages that were already cooked. If you’re cooking with uncooked meat, make sure you cook chicken sausages to an internal temp of 165F, pork to 160F.
And when life gives you leftover sheet pan sausage, peppers, & onions, you take advantage and dump it into a frittata for an easy peasy Thursday night dinner. Along with the frittata, we had meal prep roasted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts.
Making real food meals a regular part of your life doesn’t have to mean a lot of time and fuss in the kitchen. If you start your week with a few prepped staples, it makes it so much easier to throw meals together throughout the week, especially if you capitalize on leftovers, too.
These shortcuts are so helpful, especially by Thursday night when I’m all about sweatpants & slippers and counting down the minutes ’til Friday. You, too??
