Sweet Potatoes with Sausage and Peppers

It was one of those days where we hadn't gotten groceries in way too long & I didn't feel like going then either. So I Googled pork sausage recipes to see what I could come up with. Luckily, I found this gem which was a hit, had a bunch of veggies in it & even my brother who dislike sweet potatoes enjoyed when he taste tested it!

Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled & diced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage (we used a pound)
2 red bell peppers chopped (we used green)
1 onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 8oz jar of chunky salsa
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt & pepper to taste

Directions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Throw in diced potatoes and cook until tender ~ 15 mins. Drain & set aside.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble sausage into skillet & cook until brown.

3. Remove sausage and pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil from the skillet. Re-heat oil over medium heat adding in the bell peppers, onion & garlic. Cook until softened.

4. Add the potatoes, sausage, salsa & cumin into the skillet. Stir & let cook for 5 minutes to let the flavors come together. Add salt & pepper as necessary.

Quick & simple recipe, but great blend of taste!
