My kids (and all of us) love this dish full o roasted potatoes and sausages...born outta making dinner with minimal shit in the fridge one night. 1. Cut some small roaster potatoes in half and parboil them. 2. Cut a yellow (or white) onion into quarters and then into half inch wide chunks. 3. Chop up some peppers similarly. 4. Cut up whatever sausage you have into bites. I usually have like kielbasa or hot link or something around. Throw it all together and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Dump into a roasting tray and nestle a few sprigs of rosemary in there. Toss it into a 425 oven until the stuff on the top starts to get a crisp and then spoon into a bowl. Top with whatever condiment you prefer. My kids fucking love it. It's just a big sausage potato roast-ey thing.

I also threw this together one night a few years ago and we still have it sometimes...

Sliced up a couple kielbasas (I like to add a spicy with a regular) and started them in a skillet. Sliced red onion and bell peppers (mix of colors and varieties. Added some canned diced tomatoes (I prefer spicy YMMV) and some canned green chillies. Minced garlic Spices - I think I use salt, pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes A can of coconut milk. Good stuff. No, I don't have any measurements. I'm winging it. Previous Message ...like maybe you're not even sure if they have a name. No one in your family is sure what to call it.

They have a pre-cooked chicken in green chile thing. Corn tortillas. Shredded cheese. Guacasalsa. Put the chicken in a bowl, microwave to heat, melt cheese on tortilla in a pan (or don’t), assemble in tortilla with the guacasalsa. It’s really tasty, takes 10 minutes, almost no clean up.
