Recipe of the day

Roasted Throw Together

Ingredients:

◦1 lb. Italian sausage,

Food Mall: Italian Sausage

◦2 onions, sliced

◦1 8oz. package mushrooms, halved

◦1 apple, chopped large

Method:

Get your oven to 450ºF. We’re going to build “layers” so that the fat from the sausage will seep down onto the other ingredients and there’s no need to add any additional fat. In a roasting pan, in this order, add: onions, mushrooms, apples and then the crumbled sausage. Place in the oven and roast until everything is softened, browned and cooked through–about 30 minutes. Make sure to mix things around about half way through.
