Sausage Cacciatore

If you are looking for an inexpensive, but impressive dish to share with family, friends or just yourself.  This is sure to be a pleaser.  With simple, good tasting ingredients this dish offers good bang for you buck and you can change up the types of vegetables in it or even the type of sausage(like I did). It's also a very simple dish for making large quantities if you are having guests and it should be a huge hit!

Shopping List:
1) 4 Sausages (normally it calls for Italian sausage, but I used Applewood Chicken Sausage, it is great in this dish because it has a smokey, sweet flavor that really goes nicely in this dish.  It is also all natural, which is a plus to me.  You can also use turkey if you prefer.)

2) 3 Large Yukon Potatoes

3) 1 Sweet Onion

4) 1 Crate of Sliced Mushrooms

5) 1 16oz Jar of Marinara Sauce (I got mine from fresh market, their brand, it was DELICIOUS)

6) Complete Seasoning (that is the name of it)

7) Other seasonings that you most likely have: Paprika, Parsley and Salt and Pepper

Optional: Loaf of bakery bread to make garlic toast

***********************************************************************************

To Begin:
Start by preheating your oven to 375.

Then clean and dice your potatoes, slice your onion, and also your sausage.  Place these items along with your mushrooms in a large ziploc bag.  Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1-2 teaspoons paprika, parsley and 1 tablespoon complete seasoning.  Shake and mix.

Pour onto large baking sheet (with sides), sprinkle with a small bit of salt and pepper.  Place in oven for 30 minutes.

At 30 minutes remove and pour marinara sauce over the mixture, spread it around so you coat everything thoroughly.  Cook another 30 minutes.

Once time is up for the cacciatore, remove from oven and start your broiler on medium or low.  Slice bread, spread with butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.  Place under broiler until golden brown along the edges(about 5 minutes).

Enjoy!
