Sheet Pan Sausage, Green Bean, and Potato Dinner

How about a simple one pan Sheet Pan Sausage, Green Bean, and Potato Dinner today? This is the easiest, peasiest (OK, technically there are no peas…), most affordable-est sheet pan dinner you’d ever like to see in the August 6 edition of Sunday Scratchups: Your weekly recipe from scratch around grocery sales and affordable ingredients.

(Oh and speaking of sales: I buy the highly rated Zoe extra virgin olive oil pictured here on Amazon — and it’s actually on sale at the time of this post! Highly recommended.)

A simple weeknight comfort food dinner idea

This week I bought a couple of packs of smoked sausage and kielbasa at a local grocery store’s 50% off moving sale. (For the local folks, the Downers Grove Caputo’s lost their lease but will hopefully be moving to the old Ultra Foods location on 75th within a few months.) That made the pack of Polksa kielbasa I used here just $1.50, but you can also pick up a pack for around $2 every day at ALDI — making this a frugal one pan dinner option anytime.

Sheet Pan Sausage, Green Bean, and Potato Dinner

Ingredients

One 13.5-14 oz fully cooked smoked sausage or Polska kielbasa, sliced into thick coins
1/2 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in half
1 lb red or yellow potatoes, diced
1/2 a yellow onion, roughly chopped
6 whole garlic cloves
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp seasoned salt
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp rosemary
Black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan (optional)

Directions

Spray rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Add sausage and veggies to a large bowl, then drizzle with olive oil, add seasonings, and toss to coat. Spread seasoned sausage and vegetables out on the baking sheet and roast at 425 degrees for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan (optional, yet recommended).

Note: You can substitute chicken sausage and sweet potatoes to lighten up the recipe a little, if desired. Be sure to cut the potatoes fairly small as shown here, so that they cook through.

One pan comfort food at its finest

Long-time readers might note that this sheet pan sausage, green beans, and potatoes recipe bears some resemblance to the always-delicious sheet pan chicken thighs with green beans & red potatoes. This is because easy sheet pan meat+potato+veggie recipes are the bomb, guys — and this particular iteration is so good. No leftovers here!

You can always change things up with different meats and veggies; just keep your seasonings complementary & proportional and think about the right cooking times for the ingredients you choose to use. We just added corn on the cob on the side here to round out the plate, because that’s also in season and on sale this week.

This easy one pan dinner recipe is naturally gluten free (as long as your sausage is).
