Tuesday, February 4, 2020
This Baked Sausage Peppers and Potatoes is a classic Italian-style casserole.


Growing up and right through adulthood, this is our family's favorite kind of casserole we never get tired of.


With the added delicious warm Italian crusty bread and you got a match made in heaven.


I just love sausage and peppers and use hot sausage but you can use whatever you like, sweet, hot, or herb-style Italian sausage.


An Italian classic like this one is one of the most comforting meals are the most comforting meals and one of the easiest because it's all in one pan!


Did I say, if there are leftovers they are fantastic in a hoagie sandwich?


Mom made all her sausage homemade so we were lucky and had sausage patties, sausage skewers, and Italian sausage and pasta dishes often.


This simple casserole dish can be on your table in less than one hour.

Mom and Grandma



I remember my mom and sometimes grandma who lived was us ( dad's mom) would make this dish and the smell would hit you in the face coming through the door.


Seriously one of the best smells to walk into the house with when I came home from school.


That was truly one of my best memories of her cooking besides meatballs of course.


Mom made homemade sausage all the time and dad had the best of the best vegetable gardens in our yard.


We always had the freshest peppers and even homegrown potatoes, I was one lucky girl.


Back in the 1950's money was pretty tight and this fed a large family inexpensively.


We all loved it and even both my grown sons make it often, a real traditional recipe.

Italian feasts in Utica, New York



If you grew up in my hometown Utica, New York, then you heard of sausage and peppers at local summer feasts.


We would have the best hoagie sandwich with hard-crusted delicious bread stuffed with fried peppers and sausage.


There was something about this being cooked outside that made your mouth water no matter how delicious it was at home, this was a must to eat every year.


All the local church feasts made them fantastic and with love, there weren't any potatoes in that sandwich, but it was fantastic and always etched in my mind as great memory.
