Sausage, Veggie, Sweet Potato Hash

We eat lots of chicken in our house. Usually I don't mind it. Chicken is pretty versatile and I can pretty much make whatever style meal I want. I just wasn't feeling it today. I remembered my sister sharing something about a kielbasa potato hash and I decided I'd try to make something like that and started pulling stuff out.

I started with two sweet potatoes and a medium sized yellow onion.

 Then I grabbed some white mushrooms

 And some frozen, chopped green pepper

We had 3 hot Italian sausage links in the freezer, so I defrosted those and chopped them into about 1 inch slices. I added those to my cast iron skillet.

I added a little olive oil to my big skillet, put it on medium heat, and then added the chopped sweet potato.

I seasoned the sweet potatoes with turmeric, thyme, seasoned salt, and pepper. Yum.
Once the sausage was cooked through I removed it from the pan and added the mushrooms, chopped onion, and green peppers.


I let that saute in the oil leftover from the sausage. Smelled so amazing. Smelled even better when I added about 2 cloves of minced garlic. Garlic makes everything better.
It's time to put it all together. Add the sausage to the sweet potatoes.
Add the veggie mix to the sausage and potatoes.
Stir it all up and add your last seasoning, lemon pepper. This isn't just any lemon pepper. It's Chef's Choice. We affectionately call it the Lemon Crack in our household. His parents bought it for us and I don't know what we're going to do when we run out. We'll have to drive home to East Chicago just to buy some more (our lovely Fort Wayne Kroger doesn't carry it, I've checked).

Delicious, low glycemic, paleo meal. We don't follow a paleo diet, but I've been trying to cut down on processed, high glycemic foods. This will be my go to recipe for that in the future! I think it'd also be really good to crack a couple eggs in it and scramble them around what's in the pan. Maybe add some fresh salsa to the top. The possibilities are endless!
