How to Make Italian Sausage With Potatoes Onions And Peppers

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add sausages, cover, remove from heat, and let poach for 20 minutes.
  3. Remove sausages from water, drain well, and let cool completely. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. Slice the cooled sausages into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick coins.
  5. In a large (9x13 inch) casserole dish, layer half of the potatoes, half of the onions, half of the peppers, and half of the sausage.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  7. Repeat layers with the remaining potatoes, onions, peppers, and sausage.
  8. Sprinkle the top evenly with shredded cheese.
  9. Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  10. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
  11. Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the cheese to brown and bubble.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
