 This wonderful one pan dinner is a quick and easy way to get dinner on the table in a flash.  

Smoked Sausage and Potatoes

The Improv Cooking Challenge this month asked us to serve up Meat and Potatoes......
Each month Nichole of Cookaholic Wife invites us to join her in an Improv Cooking Challenge.  She tells us what the challenge is and sends us off to get creative and share recipes with each other.  This month she asked us to serve up Meat and Potatoes.

This is the second month in a row that only Sneha of Sneha's Recipe joined in the challenge.  Life gets busy and events get forgotten.  Please do stop by and check out Sneha's Beef Mince/Kheema with Vindaloo Masala.


Smoked Sausage and Potato Skillet

We love smoked sausage in our household and it has a long shelf life so I keep some in my refrigerator for those nights when I get home from running errands and too hungry to spend a lot of time cooking.  

You can pull out that smoked sausage and get dinner on in a snap.  Concerned about the nutrition and fat content?  No need.  Smoked sausage is often made with pork but you can also get smoked sausage made with beef, chicken or turkey.

The addition of onions and peppers to the skillet makes it a complete one pot meal.  You can add additional vegetables if you prefer.  I often add mushrooms because we love them.  I used tender little baby potatoes for this skillet but you can use any potatoes you have, cut into small dice.  I have even used frozen hash brown potatoes and if you use the O'Brien style you don't have to add the onions and peppers.
