Sausage Bake with Potatoes and Gravy Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Bake:
  • 1 lb (450 g) sausages (your choice: pork, chicken, or turkey)
  • 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved (or regular potatoes, chopped into chunks)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups (500 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or your favorite herbs)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• For the Gravy:
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (250 ml) reserved broth (from the bake)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for flavor)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Sausage and Potatoes:

• In a large ovenproof skillet or baking dish, drizzle the olive oil and add the halved baby potatoes and sliced onions. Toss to coat.
• Arrange the sausages on top of the potatoes and onions. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.

3. Add Broth:

• Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the sausages and potatoes.

4. Bake:

• Cover the skillet or baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and the potatoes are tender and golden.

5. Make the Gravy:

• Once the bake is done, remove the sausages and potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
• In the same skillet, sprinkle the flour over the remaining broth and whisk to combine. Cook over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until the flour is cooked through.
• Slowly add the reserved broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Stir in the soy sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes).

6. Serve:

• Return the sausages and potatoes to the skillet with the gravy, or serve them on a plate with gravy poured over the top.

Tips:

• Add Veggies: You can include other vegetables like carrots or green beans for added nutrition.
• Sausage Variations: Experiment with different types of sausages, such as spicy Italian or bratwurst, for different flavor profiles.
