Roasted Italian Sausage & Potatoes

Jana here with a recipe that was rated a '10' by my husband!  The whole family loved this savory dish!  The preparation time for this dish is quick, although it does cook for about an hour. It is so worth it though!  The flavors are really delicious! We used carrots, onion, sweet red peppers, and garlic for our main additions, but this could easily be adapted for your preference or what you had on hand. I found inspiration for this here.

Roasted Italian Sausage & Potatoes

4 medium sized potatoes (I used some red and some russet), cut into chunks
8 ounces baby carrots
1/2 cup red peppers, sliced
1/2 large onion, sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 pound ground Italian sausage, browned
1 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

2. Combine the potato pieces, carrots, peppers, onion, and minced garlic in a large baking dish. 

3. In a small bowl, mix the chicken broth, olive oil, and italian seasoning together.  Pour this over the vegetables in the baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes. 

4. Add the cooked Italian sausage to the mixture, stirring to mix it in with the other ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.  Bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until vegetables are desired tenderness.

Enjoy!
