3-Ingredient Delicious Dinner: Sausage, Potatoes, and Green Beans
Ingredients:
- 1 rope of beef smoked sausage (sliced)
- 1 can cut green beans (drained)
- 3-4 small russet potatoes (peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces)
Optional Seasonings:
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Seasoned salt
- Paprika
- Black pepper
Instructions:
- Prep the Potatoes:
- Peel and cut your russet potatoes into small, bite-sized pieces.
- If prepping ahead of time, place the potatoes in a bowl of salted cold water to keep them fresh and prevent browning. When ready to cook, drain and dry them thoroughly.
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Toss the potato pieces in oil (olive oil works great) to coat them evenly. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, paprika, and black pepper to taste.
- In a large skillet or on a sheet pan in the oven at 400°F, cook the potatoes until they’re tender. If you like firmer potatoes, stop cooking a little earlier. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Sausage and Green Beans:
- While the potatoes are cooking, slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces.
- In a separate skillet over medium heat, sauté the sausage slices until browned.
- Add the drained green beans to the skillet with the sausage. Mix everything together and season to taste with the same seasonings you used on the potatoes.
- Combine and Heat Through:
- Once the potatoes are done, add the sausage and green bean mixture into the skillet or baking dish with the potatoes.
- Stir everything together, making sure it’s well mixed and heated through.
- Serve:
- Dish it up hot! Enjoy as is, or for extra flavor, garnish with a little shredded cheese or fresh herbs.
Bonus Breakfast Tip:
- For breakfast the next day, reheat the leftovers in a skillet and crack a couple of eggs into the mix for a hearty breakfast scramble.
Soup Idea:
- Leftovers can also be transformed into a quick and comforting soup by adding some broth, a few extra veggies, and letting it simmer until flavors meld together.
This is such a simple, comforting, and customizable recipe. Perfect for both dinner and the next morning!
