How to Make Baked Potatoes With Sweet Pepper Sausage Topping
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the skin of 4 large russet potatoes several times with a fork.
- Bake potatoes for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- While potatoes bake, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 3 minutes, until softened.
- Add 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, and 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced, and cook for another 5 minutes, until slightly tender.
- Stir in 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled, and 1/2 cup tomato sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Once potatoes are cooked, carefully cut a thin slice from the top of each potato.
- Fluff the potato flesh with a fork.
- Spoon the sausage and pepper topping generously over the fluffy potatoes.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
