I love one pot dinners.
One dish. One pot to clean. Simmers together, put a lid on it, stick the leftovers in the fridge. SO MUCH WIN. And so much delish.
This recipe is my sister-in-law's, with a few minor tweaks of my own. She put it in a recipe box set for my husband when he got his own place after he graduated college (eons ago, hardy har). I think I use that box set more than him now, and this is a favorite we always go back to, especially on cold and rainy days when you want something comforting.
Isn't her recipe book neat? She did a photo book and decorated index cards with cute little decorations.
Anyway, the recipe ---
The Ingredients
1 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 lb your favorite ground sausage
1 large can (28oz) crushed tomatoes
1 can (14 oz or so) WHOLE tomatoes
1 tblsp sugar
1 tblsp chili powder
Dash of crushed red pepper for a kick
Salt and pepper to taste
About half a box of macaroni noodles
Dollops of Greek yogurt for garnish
Shredded cheddar cheese for garnish
How to Make It
Brown the first three ingredients in a large pot over medium heat. Make sure you break apart the sausage as you go.
Next, the rest of the ingredients except the Greek yogurt and cheese. Use your spatula to break up the whole tomatoes -- watch out, they may splatter a bit. Mix everything together evenly and reduce the heat to a lower setting, and cover the pot. Stir occasionally. It it all finished when the macaroni noodles have cooked through, about 20 minutes or so later. Top each serving with greek yogurt and cheddar cheese. Yummy!!!!
Hope you all enjoy this one - veggies, sausage, cheese, noodles, and tasty. Ta da!
Anyone else has a favorite one pot meal?? :)
