Weekly Meal Deal: Italian Sausage & Potato Roast

by Amanda @ A Few Short Cuts on August 4, 2010

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to put a cheap meal together.  I wanted to do something different.  Something that would use what is on sale in a non-pasta dish.  That is when I came up with this Italian Sausage and Potato Roast.  You can have dinner on the table in 30 minutes with little effort on your part.  That right there is enough to make me want to make this every night of the week. :)

I don’t have time to play in the kitchen every night.  I love to cook, but with the kids and everything else we have going on.  I just don’t have time to fuss around with dinner.  This meal is simple. You basically just wash, and toss everything onto a pan.  SERIOUSLY!  I bought a loaf of Cuban bread, but you could even serve it with Homemade French Bread.  It has just  been too hot here for me to want to bake.

I wish I could describe the smell that filled my house!  Oh, it was so good.  My husband said it smelled like the fair, because of the sausage and peppers.  The smell alone could have made a person hungry.

I have put together a small grocery list this week that you should be able to get at-least 2 if not 3 meals out of.  Of course, I included the coupons you could use to maximize your savings. You can get this meal along with another for as little as $1.05 per serving!

This is a great meal. Fast and easy. I have done this meal on the grill to keep the house cool. Just use a double e-z foil pan. Works great and NO clean-up. Just put foil over the top and put on the grill for about 45 minutes.

I clicked over here from Org. Junkie’s Menu Plan Monday and I’m so glad I did! Plan A for dinner tonite fell thru and this was a quick and easy alternative that I had all the ingredients for. Except oregano. Who doesn’t have oregano? That would be me. I used garlic powder, dried parsley, salt and pepper. Oh, and a sprinkle of garlic pepper for good measure. It was so yummy!! Thank you so much! This one is definately going in the rotation.

I found this recipe through Meal Plan Monday at Organized Junkie. Made it last week and it was a HUGE hit. Everyone loved it. I liked that I had everything in either my stock pile or my garden. This will be added to our list of family favorites. Thanks for sharing.
