This simple smoked sausage skillet has potato, onion and peppers. SO tasty. You can top with an egg or serve with a fruit salad and cottage cheese.
Does anyone else get in a cooking rut in the summer? It’s too hot to put the oven on, but you grilling every night gets old, especially when you’ve been outside in the heat all day. Many days I find myself staring at the fridge, trying to figure out what to make for dinner.
I feel like my meal prep has flown out the window this month! It doesn’t help that my girls eat SO MUCH FOOD. My previous shopping trips would last us all week and now by Wednesday, we’re out of produce. Where do they put their food?!
Some of our freezer staples include chicken, ground turkey or beef, Italian sausage and turkey smoked sausage. We can make a variety of meals with those items and I still get lost for ideas. One super helpful site is the All Recipes. At the top of their page they have an ingredient search which allows you to put in certain foods you have on hand. I always find some great new ideas.
One meal I know we will always gobble up is this Smoked Turkey Sausage skillet. For Brinner nights, we fry up eggs and serve with toast, the other night we had cottage cheese with honey and a fruit salad. If you have sweet potatoes on hand, sub those for the red potatoes. Green beans are also tasty!
This easy skillet recipe has Smoked Sausage, Potatoes, Peppers and Onions. Great for a weeknight dinner! In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook 5-6 minutes until brown. Remove from pan. Add onion, potatoes and pepper to pan. Cook over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, until potatoes are softened. Add seasoning and stir to incorporate. Cook 3-4 minutes longer. Return sausage to pan. Stir. Serve with a veggie side or a fried egg on top! Feel free to sub sweet potato for red potato. You can also add extra peppers or green beans.

Can this be frozen? Have you tried it?
I haven’t tried to freeze it yet. I think it should be fine–the only thing I could see being an issue is the texture of the potatoes when reheated.
So this turned out super spicy! Not sure what I did wrong😕
Hmm, I don’t know what could have happened! What brand of smoked sausage did you use? Some are spicier than others.
This looks delicious 🙂 I love simple recipes on busy weeknights and this is one that can be put together without a lot of fuss. I wish I had ideas to share for you on smoked sausage, but I don’t cook with it a lot. I like it, but I either make a kielbasa soup or I grill it. I will definitely try this one tho!

I needed to use some turkey Polska kielbasa and was pleased to find a simple recipe (one I could do!) Prep time for veggies makes it take longer, but we (husband and teenage daughter) liked it! I used 3 bell peppers, doubled the paprika, and added some water to keep veggies from sticking. I’d make it again!
I made this recipe but instead of turkey smoked sausage I used garlic roasted chicken smoked sausage (turkey sausage is always our go to for a lot of dinners and I wanted to switch it up a little). It turned out soooooo good. I used 1/2 red and yellow bell pepper (left over from this morning’s breakfast) and instead of regular red potatoes I used a potato medley (purple, red, and golden potatoes). My husband loved it, I loved, and our 5 year old son loved it
Family isn’t a fan of peppers, any idea of what I could add instead?
You can just leave them out! I’ve tried broccoli before with this.
