Tonight’s dinner was no different.
Ryan and I made a hot and flavorful meal of Italian sausage with green peppers and onions.
Though it had to cook in the oven for approximately 45 minutes, the prep work only lasted five. It was a set-it-and-forget-it kinda meal!
I simply chopped up two large green peppers and one onion, and cut up three large Jennie-O sweet lean Italian turkey sausages. I cut the sausages with scissors because chopping them with a knife would cause the meat to squeeze out of the casings. Once everything was ready to go, I combined everything, sprinkled it with salt and pepper, and placed the mixture in the oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
The result was a fragrant and delicious meal.
Sadie really wanted a bite, but onions are a no-go for dogs, so she did some tricks to earn some dog-safe treats!
Though the treat made her happy, she instantly returned to begging for our human food… not that I blame her. 😉
Now it’s time to do some dishes, read and hopefully get in bed a lil’ early tonight.
See ya in the morning!

I love easy peasy dinners. Who wants to waste tons of time slaving away in the kitchen when you can make something simple, healthy, and delicious with a fraction of the effort? Not this girl….sometimes I like to spend lots of time cooking, but only on days when I have the time. On weekdays, fast and easy is the name of the game.

Sadie’s adorable! And sausage and peppers is one of my favorite meals! I cut my sausage semi-frozen – scissors is a great tip – definitely trying that next time.

Yummy, I love anything with the sausage/onion/pepper combo…it would be delish with a little tomato sauce on top!

I love set it and forget it dinners. Takes all of the pain out of cooking!
Lauren @ BIOCHEMISTA says
The sausage meal looks delish! How did you bake them? Do you wrap them in tinfoil or just on a cooking sheet/pan??
Thanks love 🙂 I have a current obsession with Trader Joe’s Chicken sausage 😉
XOXOX
peanutbutterfingers says
I just put them in a pan w/ the peppers & onions & baked them at 375 for 45 min. Tasty!
