Save A hearty and colorful one-pan meal featuring roasted sausages, sweet bell peppers, onions, and golden potatoes—perfect for busy weeknights.
Sheet-pan dinners like this sausage with peppers, onions, and potatoes have saved me countless times on busy evenings. The flavors meld together deliciously in the oven, and clean-up is a breeze.
