Sausage and Potato Bake Ingredients

The ingredients in this bake are quite simple — and you probably already have most of them on hand. Here's what you'll need:

Olive Oil
The olive oil is used for cooking your sausage, potatoes, and veggies in the skillet.

Italian Sausage
Choose your favorite Italian sausage (mild, medium, or hot will work) for this recipe.

Potatoes
You can use whatever potatoes you like, as long as you peel and thinly slice them. But for faster cooking and less chopping, try smaller red potatoes or fingerlings so you can eat them whole.

Bell Peppers
Both red and green bell peppers are used in this recipe — and, hey, if you have yellow or orange, throw those in too!

Onions
Yellow onions will work best here for their caramelized flavor.

White Wine
White wine adds flavor to the veggies and sausage. Plus, it keeps the dish moist during baking.

Chicken Stock
This recipe uses chicken stock, though you can use any stock you have on hand in a pinch.

Seasonings
Lightly season the sausage and vegetables with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

"I found this recipe a few years ago, marvelous! I've made it several times, occasionally making small changes depending on what I have on hand. It doesn't matter, it's always delicious. I personally never add the wine, I use additional stock, still delicious," says Barbs favorites.

"Great easy recipe. Would work with any kind of sausage. I used a spicy smoked polish sausage. After browning the sausage, potatoes and vegetables I had a lot of carmelized brown goodness left in the bottom of my skillet. So I deglazed the pan with the wine and chicken stock before pouring the liquid over the ingredients in the baking dish," according to Bruce.

"I loved it. It was so flavorful and easy to make. Even my 5yr old niece who is a notoriously picky eater ate it up quickly. The only change I made was subbing the wine for more chicken broth because I didn't have any wine. I don't know if that made a big difference to the taste, but it was excellent as is," raves Samantha Cobb.
