Sausage, Potatoes, Onions and Peppers

A recipe using sausage, onions, peppers and potatoes: is there any better combination?! Yum!

“10 out of 10” raves Spud as she finishes EVERY LAST BITE on her plate. This is the winning dinner of the week… and my children wanted me to share.

“Yum, yummy, yum & delicious.” These are direct quotes.

No matter how you cook it: stove top, oven, grill or crockpot, sausage always goes well with peppers, onions and potatoes. I think there is a food truck at Rutgers that serves this combination on a bun:  you know the guy that serves you more sausage, peppers, onions and potatoes then you could ever eat from the back of this truck… but eat you do and then the food coma (or hangover cure) begins…ah college…

Since this dish is not from a “grease truck” and is cooked in a little olive oil, it’s not bad for you. In fact, this dish is very easy to make and is  Mealdiva approved,so eat up!
