One Pan Show: A Quick & Easy Dinner Recipe

Quite a few of the recipes I post require dirtying up a few of pieces of cookware, mixing bowls, and bakeware. If you’re anything like me, sometimes you just don’t want to spend that much time cleaning up after your meal. What’s a girl to do in this world of complicated culinary madness?

It’s times like these that a one skillet meal really does the trick. This recipe is anything but difficult and requires only a cast iron skillet, a cutting board, a sharp knife, and a serving spoon. Not bad, right? I chose to use tri-colored bell peppers for this recipe; once cooked they turn into juicy morsels that are just bursting with flavor from the sauce and sausage. The best thing about this recipe is that it doesn’t take long to make at all! Within 45 minutes you’ll have a bubbling, delicious Italian Sausage Potato Skillet meal that just begs to be eaten with corn bread or honey hoe cakes.
