Every time the weather starts to get colder here in Canada is when I think to make this recipe for Sausage and Potatoes in the oven. 

HOW TO MAKE ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND POTATOES IN THE OVEN

First off you want a Dutch Oven or oven safe dish with a lid to prepare this recipe.

• Start by placing 1/2 cup of cooking oil into a large Dutch oven and bring to sizzling hot
• Add in the fresh sausage and sear over medium heat till browned and cooked
• Remove the sausages and set aside
• In the same pot add in 1 tbsp of butter and sauté the diced onion till golden brown then set that aside with the sausages. 
• Now, peel and slice the potatoes 1/2 inch thick ideally
• Open the can of tomatoes and empty that into the pot along with the remaining cooking oil
• Bring to a medium boil then add in the beef stock, bay leaf Worcestershire sauce and seasonings
• Add in the sausages and cooked onions 
• Seal the lid and allow it to all cook together for 40 minutes in the oven at 350f to serve
• Serve with more butter and bread if desired

WHAT POTATOES TO SERVE WITH SAUSAGE CASSROLE

Really it is up to you, both white and red work. Just be sure to peel the fully before slicing them.

You can also use mini potatoes if you have on hand.

WHY ARE SAUSAGES SO GOOD

Well it depends on the sausages, I HIGHLY recommend using ZESTY ITALIAN sausages or HOT SAUSAGES that come from your local meat market.

Buying store bought sausages are just not as good as from your local meat market. And that is because those tend to be salt ridden and less dense.

Your local meat market is where you want to find the best sausages. Those are the type I use for this recipe “always”.

Recipe Tip: It is important to use cooking oil as that helps the tomatoes to cook well into the stew along with butter for the potatoes.
