Melty Cheddar

A good cast-iron skillet—especially a clean, well-seasoned one—can turn even the simplest ingredients into something special. Case in point: this easy, deeply layered one-skillet dinner. It’s a healthy, meat & potatoes–style dish that lets every ingredient shine, from crispy potatoes and gorgeously snappy Melty Cheddar Chicken Sausage to juicy tomatoes and sweet peppers. Keep this recipe in your back pocket (the recipe, not the skillet), and you’ve got a satisfying, weeknight-friendly meal on the table in 30 minutes or less.

Chef’s note: Why limit this to dinner? Top it with a fried or soft-scrambled egg and you’ve got a seriously good way to start the day.

Instructions

Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 20 min | Servings: 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potato pieces and whole sausages and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until both are nicely browned.

Add the onion, garlic, and spices, and season generously with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring and turning regularly, for 3–4 minutes, until fragrant.

Add the tomatoes and bell peppers. Once they begin to sizzle, cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and let everything steam and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Once the potatoes are cooked through, uncover, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Give everything a final toss, then serve topped with fresh parsley and a splash of hot sauce to taste.
