Sausage and Peppers

I had a friend make a very similar dish for me once, and I remember loving not only how easy it was, but also as tasty. Just cut up a bunch of stuff, season it and then throw in the oven for an hour.

Ingredients

5 red bell peppers, cut into 1 inch strips.
2 large red onions, cut into 8 wedges.
6 garlic cloves, peeled.
1 1/2 lbs of smoked sausage.
1 1/2 lbs of Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1 inch chunks.
1/4 cup of olive oil

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients.
Spread out ingredients on baking sheets.
Bake for about an hour, until potatoes are done.

Changes I Made!
Season your potatoes with salt before you mix with the other ingredients. They were a little bland by themselves.
If you use the bottom rack, the dish is done about 15-20 minutes earlier than on the middle rack.

This recipe is from Trisha's Table.
