Lazy Day Casserole

  • 5 Sausages (beef or pork)
  • 1 lb. Potatoes
  • 1/2 lb Carrots
  • 1/2 Bell pepper
  • 1 large Onion
  • 2 Garlic cloves, grated or chopped
  • 2 T. Oil
  • 1 1/2 t. Italian Herbs
  • 1/2 c. Chicken broth
  • 4T. Balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper
 Peel wash and cut the potatoes, pepper, carrots, and onion. Cut the potato into large chunks, the pepper into strips, carrots into large chunks, and the onion in wedges. Place everything in a roasting tray or a 9x13 casserole dish. 
Use a small bowl to combine the oil with the Italian herbs, grated or chopped garlic and chicken broth. Pour this mixture over veggies and toss them around a bit. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Cover the tray with foil and put in preheated oven.  Bake at 450 degrees for 45 minutes. While the veggies are cooking, brown the sausages without cooking them through. Cut them in half.
After the 45 minutes is up, place the sausages in the pan and pour Balsamic vinegar all over. Place the tray back in the oven, uncovered, for 25 minutes. Take it out after 15 minutes, flip over the sausages and ladle some of the juices on top of the vegetables and sausage. Put back in the oven for the remaining time.
