Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, to taste)
- 5 pieces Yellow potatoes (medium-sized, diced)
- 2 pieces Bell peppers (mixed colors, diced)
- 1 piece Yellow onion (diced)
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the Italian sausage to the skillet and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon, until fully browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they start to brown.
Add the bell peppers, diced onion, and minced garlic to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine.
Transfer the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Pour the chicken broth evenly over the mixture in the dish.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!
