Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Italian Sausage Potato Bake

This dish reminds me of one similar that I make using kielbasa...one of our favorites. I had a big package of Italian sausage links I needed to use and with the potatoes and bell peppers I had on hand, this delicious dish was made. You can use just about any veggies YOU want or stick with these and add what you like. Mushrooms would be great....cherry tomatoes...zucchini...whatever! It's so simple....throw everything in a pan and bake it up!

Italian Sausage Potato Bake



1 pound mini Yukon Gold potatoes
2 bell peppers ~ large diced (I used one yellow and one green)
1 medium onion ~ large diced (I used a yellow one, but a red one would be yummy)
5 or 6 Italian sausage links
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.

Place diced veggies in the prepared pan.

Drizzle some olive oil, 2 - 3 tablespoons, over veggies then salt and pepper to taste.

Place sausage links on top of veggies and cover with foil.

Bake for 1 hour.

Remove foil and bake another 30 - 45 minutes until sausages begin to brown.
