Two Pot Wonder

When I find something in my freezer that I didn't even know was there (okay, maybe I knew and forgot) sometimes I look as it as an opportunity, Sure, I could go ahead and make whatever I had originally planned with it, but most times when I this happens, it's something that leftover or "extra" from another recipe. For example, this came about because I found an extra package of smoked sausage, after buying three when I only needed two. So yes, I could have went ahead and bought one more package and fixed the same meal I had the previous time, but instead I went looking for something new. And what I found is not only delicious and easy, it's a great recipe to feed a crowd. The way it is written here, I would say it would feed 4-5 comfortably. But it could simply be doubled (If you do, use two separate pans for more even cooking) to feed a group much bigger! Plus it has your protein, starch and veggies all in one place! Technically I can't call it a one dish wonder, because you do have to prepare the potatoes in a separate pan, but if you're like me, that one can be washed, dried and put away by the time the oven timer chimes, and you are left with only one to clean after supper! If you are planning on a full house at some point over the next couple weeks, and want to serve more than just one big meal with leftovers for days, this is would be a great solution! Remember to check that freezer now and again too. You never know what inspiration you might find.
