Roasted Sausage and Potatoes

I found this recipe called Lazy Sunday Casserole a while back over at Kayotic Kitchen and have made it many times.  It is such a nice meal that fills the house with the smell of roasted vegetables and Italian sausage.  It takes a while to make, but it is virtually effortless.  Please don't let the time it takes to make this stop you.  It is incredibly delicious and you must try it!

Roasted Sausage and Potatoes adapted from Kayotic Kitchen

4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-1/2 in cubes

1 lb baby carrots

1 red bell peppers, seeded and sliced into large strips

1 large sweet onion, cut into wedges

1 TBS minced garlic

2 TBS olive oil

2 tsp italian seasoning

3/4 cup beef broth

4-5 italian sausage links

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees
• Place the potatoes, baby carrots, bell pepper, and onion in a large roasting pan
• Mix the garlic, olive oil, italian seasoning, and beef broth in a small bowl
• Pour over vegetables and toss to cook
• Place in the oven uncovered for 35 minutes stirring once halfway through
• While vegetables are roasting brown italian sausages in a skillet over medium high heat
• Cut in half and arrange sausage over vegetables
• Drizzles balsamic vinegar over and place back in the oven for 30 minutes
• After 30 minutes give everything a gentle stir, flip sausages, drizzle juices over sausages, and cook for an additional 15 minutes

I never have leftovers when I make this.  It is gobbled up right away.  I guess I should try doubling the recipe next time, but I am afraid they would just eat it all anyway...lol  It is soooooo good!
