Sheet Pan Veggies and Sausage

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that there’s one dinner we make at least a few times every single month: Sausage & Potatoes. Every time I make it, people ask me for the recipe. And every time, I just say that I wing it… because I do!

But I figured it was high time I actually sat down and typed up at least the basics of how I make it to give you something to go off of! 🙂

Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies are the best!

This recipe is so versatile, comforting, filling, and easy. Plus, I often find the ingredients on great sales or markdowns (which is why we make it so often!) so it’s very frugal, too.

You can make this in the slow cooker or as a sheetpan dinner. The slow cooker is great if you want to make it earlier in the day and then have dinner done. Making it on a sheet pan gives it a more flavorful, roasted flavor.

Sausage and Potatoes Recipe Ingredients

I make it a little differently every time, based on what we have on hand.

Here are the ingredients I use:

• Sausage: I always use some type of rope sausage or kielbasa. We like smoked sausage best as I love how it flavors everything. I just slice it.
• Potatoes: I always use either potatoes or sweet potatoes or both. I peel and chop them into pieces.
• Veggies: Depending upon what I have on hand, I’ll use a combination of peppers (we especially love red/orange/yellow), onions, and/or carrots.
• Broth, water, or oil: I add a little chicken broth, beef broth, or water if I cook in the slow cooker or drizzle with olive oil if I’m roasting it on a sheet pan in the oven.
• Seasonings: You can add herbs or seasonings if you’d like. But I find that the sausage will flavor it enough if you don’t.

How to Make Sausage and Potatoes on a Sheet Pan

I slice the sausage, chop the veggies, and then either lay it out on a sheet pan and drizzle it with oil or put it in a slow cooker and pour about a cup of broth or water over.

If I’m cooking in the slow cooker, I’ll cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. (If I make a large batch, I’ll add extra cooking time.)

If roasting in the oven, bake at 350º for an hour. Stir a few times while baking to fully roast everything.

Tips for making Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies

Make sure you have enough time to chop everything up. It doesn’t take long, but it’s the most time-consuming part of the recipe.

Please feel free to mix up the ingredients based on your family’s taste preferences and what you already have in the house. There is no “one right way” to make this meal!

Sheet Pan Sausage and Potatoes Recipe Variations

There are an unlimited number of ways you can mix up this easy recipe…

• Change up the type of sausage you use
• Use different types of potatoes or even butternut squash
• Use a variety of seasonal veggies
• Experiment with different seasonings.

What to serve with Smoked Sausage and Potatoes

Fruit or applesauce are always good side dishes, as well as fresh bread and or a lettuce salad.

And don’t forget possible dipping sauces like Ketchup — or whatever your family likes!

How to store leftover Sheet Pan Veggies and Sausage

We rarely end up with leftovers, but if you don’t, just put them in a food storage container in the fridge for up to a week. You can reheat it in the microwave, in a toaster oven, or in a cast iron skillet.

Can Sausage and Potatoes be frozen?

The sausage itself can easily be frozen, however, the potatoes and veggies will not have the same consistency when frozen. They will probably be quite mushy and soggy. This is not a meal I recommend putting in the freezer.
