Italian Sausage With Potatoes, Onions, and Peppers

Submitted by Kalija

"I got this recipe from my mother inlaw, it is cheap and easy to put together. I love to throw this together on a cold, snowy Sunday morning - then I can just throw it in the oven later and go about my business while dinner cooks. Add a salad or crusty itallian bread for a side and you are all set. I sometimes use turkey sausage for a lower fat dish."

4. Repeat layers.

This was so easy and delicious! I made the mistake of sauteing the onions first, which took the liquid away and make the dish a little bit dry. I added a few extras seasonings, like Garlic Powder and extra cheese, but will definitely be something I make again and again! Thanks for the recipe.
