Sausage, pepper, and potato roast

This is my FAVORITE recipe.  It can't get any easier, and the outcome is delicious.  I've altered this recipe many times in an effort to make it healthier (don't be fooled by all the veggies, the sausage kills any chance this has of being healthy) and already have plans for how I'm going to change it next time.

First, you need  1- yellow pepper, 1 - green pepper, and 1- sweet (Vidalia) onion.  It's important you get a sweet onion here.  A sharp purple onion is not going to have the same flavor.  Cut the peppers into long strips and the onion into thin wedges (some of the onion wedges at the bottom of this picture are a little thick).

This is where my attempt at healthiness comes in.  I add a yellow squash (and next time will be adding a zucchini).  Just slice it is fine. The squash ended up being my favorite part, so it's going to become a permanent part of my recipe.

Next add 4-5 red potatoes, quartered.  I forgot to take a picture of these, but like I said, this is my favorite meal and patience is not my strong point.

Then, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt, and pepper to taste.  If your bowl has a lid, great.  Put the lid on and shake, shake, shake! If not, stir until coated!

 Cut up some mild Italian sausage. (Goal for next blog post: learn how to turn photos)

Cover a cookie sheet with foil, spray a VERY light coat of cooking spray on the foil and spread your veggies across it.  Put your chunks of sausage on top.  As the sausage cooks, the grease (see above note about this NOT being healthy) will coat the veggies and make them even more delicious.

Cook for approximately 40 minutes at 400 degrees or until the onions are soft are caramelized and the potatoes are cooked through. Don't be worried by the amount of food, it cooks down in the oven.

Ok, it doesn't cook down this much.  We had already eaten some at this point, but this is your finished product.  It makes quite a bit of food but it reheats well and the leftovers make a great lunch.

So:
1 yellow pepper
1 green pepper
1 sweet (Vidalia) onion
1 yellow squash - optional
1 zucchini - optional
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 package mild italian sausage
pepper to taste.
