drdoggie,
Recipe please?
Certainly. I made this when I stayed with metro a couple of weeks ago, and it got his seal of approval.
1 pkg smoked sausage
3-4 potatoes
3-4 carrots
2 envelopes Lipton onion soup mix
2 gallon-size ziploc bags
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel and chop the potatoes and carrots and slice the sausage, putting half in each ziploc bag.
Add 1 envelope of dry onion soup mix to each bag.
Seal and shake vigorously so ingredients are mixed and coated with soup mix.
Dump both bags into a baking pan and bake for approximately 1 hour. (I like my potatoes and carrots soft and my sausage crispy critter, so I usually do 75-90 minutes. )
Notes:
I chop my ingredients fairly small and stir at 30-minute intervals; after an hour, every 15 minutes. You can stab some carrots and potatoes each time and continue baking until they're your preferred firmness/softness.
I use a disposable aluminum pan; if you use a regular metal or glass pan, you may want to spray it first with non-stick spray.
Adding a small amount of oil to the bags before shaking helps coat everything with the soup mix (I usually skip this to cut down on greasiness.)
Red potatoes (I leave the skins on) can be subbed for brown.
I sometimes use one less potato and add in a can of drained whole kernel (or Mexican/fire-roasted) corn.
Leftovers reheat well in the microwave.
I think that's about it. Let me know how you like it.
