Sausage, potatoes, bell peppers and onions oven-roasted with garlic powder in an olive oil.
What to Cook When You Don’t Have Time to Cook:
You know the feeling when you get home after a long day, it can be really hard to figure out how to cook healthy meals when you still have a million things to do and all you want to do is lie on the couch.
I definitely know the feeling. When I worked in an office all day, I had absolutely no motivation to cook and at the end of the day, it can be really tricky to get something healthy together for dinner. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not whining. Anyway. The point I’m trying to make is this: I love easy. I need easy. And when it comes to making easy meals you can’t beat the oven, which allows you to make hearty home cooked meals with minimal effort. And isn’t that what simple cooking day to day is all about? So making this dinner is probably even less work than going out or getting takeout, and– HELLO! It’s Roasted potatoes, onions, sausage and peppers roast in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil! What’s not to love?!

yummylious
great like mom use to make
Made this tonight! It was so good. Yum! :o)
Instead of slicing a long sausage. I remembered I had a pack of cheese filled little smokies in the refrigerator. I am going to try them this time.
Question…..do you drain the banana peppers or do you pour the juice over the ingredients?
Go ahead and drain them first. You don’t want that extra jarred liquid pooling in the pan, it’ll make everything steam instead of roast and you’ll lose that nice caramelized edge on the potatoes and sausage.
Do you drain the banana peppers?
It’s 2025 and seeing a jar of banana peppers on the store shelf unlocked the memory of repeatedly making this dish about 10 years ago. I dug it out of my Pinterest files and made it last night for dinner and loved it just as much as before! The only thing I changed (and I did this back then, too) was that I used half a packet of dry Italian dressing mix to season everything but the sausage and then baked it all together. It’s definitely still one of my favorites.
I’ve used this recipe for years, it’s a family favorite.
I normally add minced garlic and swap red & yellow peppers for the green.
