My original Hillshire Farm sausage recipe combines Beef and Bacon Sausage with potatoes and vegetables for a delicious and easy-to-make dinner.
I am currently reading “My Life in France” by Julia Child. In the book, she recounts the years and years spent writing “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”.
She would painstakingly recreate and test a single recipe dozens of times to make sure it was perfect before adding it to the book.
So, when I decide to “wing it” and create a recipe on the fly and share it with Thrifty Jinxy readers, I feel a little guilty. But, if it turned out well….then why not?
The sausage I used for the recipe is Hillshire Farm Gourmet Creations Beef & Bacon Sausage with Monterey Jack Cheese.
I was pleased to discover that it contains NO artificial colors, NO artificial flavors and NO by-products.
To complete the recipe, I used peppers, onions, potatoes and garlic that I bought at our local farmers market. Here is the recipe I created:
Market Style Beef & Bacon Sausage Recipe with Potatoes and Veggies
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds red-skinned potatoes (approximately 3 medium/large)
1 small red onion, large dice
1 small green pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 Package Hillshire Farm Gourmet Creations Beef & Bacon Sausage
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Scrub the potatoes, lightly pierce skins with a fork and microwave for 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop all the other vegetables and place in a 10″x10″ casserole dish.
Remove potatoes from microwave and cut into 1/2″ cubes. Add to casserole, drizzle with olive oil and add salt and pepper. Stir well.
Place the sausages on top of the veggie mixture.
Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Uncover dish, remove sausages and set to the side. Increase heat to broil and broil veggies for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just starting to brown.
Place a serving of veggies on each dinner plate. Slice a sausage into 6 pieces and place on top of each serving. Serves 4.
