How to Make Baked Potatoes With Sweet Pepper Sausage Topping

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the skin of 4 large russet potatoes several times with a fork.
  2. Bake potatoes for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. While potatoes bake, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 3 minutes, until softened.
  5. Add 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, and 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced, and cook for another 5 minutes, until slightly tender.
  6. Stir in 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled, and 1/2 cup tomato sauce.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  8. Once potatoes are cooked, carefully cut a thin slice from the top of each potato.
  9. Fluff the potato flesh with a fork.
  10. Spoon the sausage and pepper topping generously over the fluffy potatoes.
